Medieval Combat Stainless
Steel Sword Replicas
In past centuries, the
sword was equivalent to power. No ruler could expect to remain in power without
a retinue of men armed with swords to enforce his influence. When a man carried
a sword, that sword designated the wearer as a dominant member of society.
Swords were more valuable than we can imagine today, and were so prized that
their owners often gave them names to signify the power inherent in them. They
were meant to be seen and were used for protection, in battle, and in medieval
duels to the death. Purchase your own piece of history with one of our medieval

A sword fundamentally consists of a blade, a hilt, and a pommel, typically with
one or two edges for striking and cutting, and a point for thrusting. The basic
intent and physics of swordsmanship has remained fairly constant through the
centuries, but the actual techniques varied among cultures and periods as a
result of the differences in blade design and purpose.
