HENRY V SWORD SH2369 Paul Chen / CAS Hanwei The Hanwei Henry V Sword is modeled after the sword hung over the tomb of one of England’s great warrior kings. It has frequently been referred to as the archetype of the Medieval sword. The single-handed cut-and-thrust weapon combines a relatively short sturdy blade with elegant down-swept quillons and a wheel pommel offering this blade a superb balance. The Henry V Sword features a sharpened 27-1/2 inch tapered blade constructed of forged 1566 High Carbon Steel and equipped with a diamond cross section that will perform with fearsome cutting ability and excellent point control for the thrust. An exceptional fighting sword. This might well be the very sword Henry carried at Agincourt.
Paul Chen swords are crafted in much the same way as swords were made centuries ago, except now the blades are forged from high-carbon spring steel. The blade finish is far from being polished; again more closely replicating what the medieval swordsmith was able to achieve. This Henry V Sword will appeal to the re-enactor and collector who wants a sword with the same appearance as the originals.
The large wheel pommel and hand guard are made of solid steel and flank a 7 inch hardwood grip covered in black leather with steel fittings. This battle-ready Henry V Sword measures about 34 1/2 inches overall and includes a beautiful genuine leather wrapped scabbard with steel fittings.
