Hanwei Bastard Sword SH2250

The term Bastard undoubtedly comes from the fact that the sword, because of its design, has no legitimate claim to being classified as either a uniquely single-handed or two-handed weapon. The Bastard sword was a weapon developed for the use of the foot soldier and had became quite common by the early 1500’s. The Paul Chen  Bastard Sword made at Hanwei is finished in an antique patina, making for an amazingly authentic appearance. The leather-covered scabbard features a patinated steel chape and tip. A perfect well balanced  sword for the re-enactor

Made by Hanwei.
