Acre Crusader Broadsword - Ref 501509

The Acre Crusader Broadsword from the Windlass Steelcrafts BattleCry Collection is a formidable weapon that has been tried and tested. This classic knight"s sword was essential in sword and shield or sword and buckler combat, whether on foot or on horseback. Robust and imposing blade, with a wide guard of more than 20 cm. Its practical cruciform hilt with one-handed grip and circular pommel became a functional model that served as a model for other styles. There was nothing the medieval warrior could do to improve that blade. Includes matching sheath with belt clip and decorated box.

Certificate of authenticity signed by the master craftsman who forges the blade.

Matching scabbard included.

Manufactured by Windlass Steelcrafts®

The BattleCry Collection of historical swords, daggers and axes has been designed in collaboration with John Clements, whose knowledge of historical swordsmanship and methods of medieval and renaissance fighting is second to none. Hand forged by Windlass Steelcrafts from 1065 carbon steel and tempered in computer controlled ovens at 50 RC. This ensures strength, toughness and edge retention. The swords have wide, full tangs and are all razor-sharp.

Each model has undergone rigorous physical testing to exceed all expectations. These battle weapons have a blackened finish. Each piece is individually inspected at each step of the manufacturing process, and only after passing the inspection received by master gunsmiths, do they stamp their stamp on the blade. Included with each model is a certificate signed by the craftsman who worked on your matching blade and scabbard.
