The sword is merely unadorned with decorative engravings which can be added later for an additional investment. The sole focus of the S4B is usage. Though stately in appearance, it's price factor makes it ideal as a user blade for those who want to practice cutting but do not want to concern themselves with preserving the finish of a presentation piece. On the other hand, this makes the S4B the most versatile choice for custom engravings, which can be done for you for an additional investment. (You may specify for engravings to be done on either one side or both sides of the sword, and for them to appear on the blade fuller, cross guard and pommel. Additional investment custom engravings are calculated per centimeter of handwork engraving, at approximately US$11.00 per character per side, depending on the size of the engravings.)

Knightly Swords of this kind were originally developed in Medieval Europe as battlefield weapons.

The sword - like all other Armart swords (except for its peaceful cousin, the S4P - Sword of Prayer) is shipped sharpened. This sword is made by historical methods, forged and finished by hand, and the steel is given excellent thermal treatment to obtain the necessary performance for this to be a weapon worthy of the ancient battlefield. Swords of this nature must be respected for their potential to do harm, as this is most certainly not a toy, and should be respected as if one were handling even a firearm.

Steel pommel in the shape of a Brazil nut. Wooden hilt wrapped in dark leather. Straight guard. Wide, sharp, hand hammered blade with a groove.

No knight should ever be without his sword. Those of you who are knights at heart and feel the call to Godly virtues in service of King and Country can now do so at a budget. Shipping is included in its price.

Finally, a longsword from ArmArt! There is an advantage that we at ArmArt have - our access to museums. This marvelous longsword is a reproduction/reconstruction of the sword of Czech King Przemysl Ottokar II as exhibited in the Kunshitorishe Museum Wien. These longswords were known as Grete Sword or Espées de Guerre.

The interesting blade may be classified as an Oakeshott Type XIIIa or XIIIb.5. The blade has a fuller that runs two-thirds its length. The bowtie guard and wheel pommel are of iron. The grip is beech wood waxed by bee's wax.

This is an excellent knightly cut-and-thrust sword for those needing an effective historical weapon for either collecting and/or practicing martial arts. 

The guard and pommel provide many personalization possibilities for those seeking an additional investment path towards engravings, even a black or brown leather wrap for the grip. Just about any kind of historical crest, emblem or seal can be hand-engraved on the pommel e.g. Lions, Crosses, etc. If you go for a cross theme, we recommend echoing the crosses on the tips of the guard.
