This sword is based on the Oakeshott Type XVIII.4 on
page 175 of Records of the Medieval Sword. However, what's unique
to this sword is the Type V Fishtail pommel, III style. The crossguard is
a Type II style, modified to curve downwards to achieve a remarkable
aesthetic balance. We think you'll agree. The pommel's unique fluting
flows into the grip, which is covered by a single piece of dark red
leather. The tang is hammered into the pommel and becomes part of it.
Much attention-to-detail is given to the shaping of the pommel and
crossguard. You'll notice many subtle qualities that emphasize the
stateliness of this sword.
The blade sports a flattened diamond geometry with no fuller.

TESTIMONIALS
...It was very well done, and was
extremely interesting... Keep up the good work! R.H.
Canada
Excellent DVD! I can't wait until the next ones come out... I will
be recommending the DVD to all my fellow blacksmiths and
bladesmiths I know! Luke B., Great Britain
...film 'The Birth of a Sword' is also
excellent. It was fascinating to see the Viking sword being made
from the raw materials and to watch Mr. Kazda's skills as he
crafted that beautiful sword with its decorated hilt...
Jonathan F., Great Britain
...I thoroughly enjoyed
viewing your DVD and found it to be one of the best shot and
produced videos on forging and swordmaking that I’ve seen.
Congratulations on a job well done... Michael J., USA
FILM
SYNOPSIS
In this 40-minute video from the “Steel-edged
Weapons” series you will be invited by master swordsmith
Richard Kazda to his forge and guided through the half-forgotten
world of swordsmithing.
In the film you will witness:
- The making of a replica Nordic-type
sword using traditional swordsmithing methods, from selecting
the material to the final assembly of the sword.
- Forging the individual elements of the
sword, surface finishing, hardening the blade and strength
tests, making the grip, decorating the guard and pommel,
assembly of the sword, making the scabbard and performing
cutting tests.
- Many detailed views, including
decorating the sword with silver-copper and brass inlays.
- Clear animations explaining the
production processes and the sword’s construction.
The film was made with the aim of explaining the
essentials of making a replica of a sword both to the
uninitiated public and those more experienced in this field.
Collectors, fencers, members of historical re-enactment
associations, hobbyists and those who seriously consider making
their own or buying their first sword will find here a wealth of
information and previously unpublished swordsmithing procedures.
The film was shot live following the making of one
specific weapon from its beginning to its completion. There is
no acting involved, the footage shows only authentic production
in a real forge.
