The Knight
A sword of type XII, according to Oakeshott´s typology, is defined by having a broad and evenly tapering blade. It should have a good point and a fuller that is 2/3 to 3/4 of the blade length.
This is perhaps the most classic of all blade styles. So much so that it is close to being the very archetype of the European knightly sword.
We wanted this sword to be an homage to those splendid examples of the ancient sword makers art. A weapon that is broad and bold with understated elegance in shapes, lines and volumes.
The heft of the sword is managed by an effective use of nonlinear distal taper and a deep and well defined fuller. This results in a lively and responsive feel that invites you to strike with the sword.
The pommel of this sword is of type J: a deep wheel pommel with concave bevels. It is crowned by a high rivet block. The cross is a version of style 2: a straight type of octagonal section that swell at the ends and in the middle.
The outer third of the blade towards the point curves gradually to a sharp point. This gives a visual balance to the broad base of the blade and also helps in establishing sweet handling characteristics.

Sword combo for sparring and for cutting
Sword combo for sparring and for cutting
You
cant cut properly with a blunt edge blade, and sparring with a
sharpened blade is not an option. Therefore you would need two
separate swords that handle similarly and is weighted and balanced
the same.
For
training and sparring you need a blade that is blunt and safe that is
intended to take heavy wear.
For
cutting you want a quality blade that will keep a good
edge, especially if you want cut more than just plastic
bottles or kitami mats.
Bastard
Sword High-end Combo
I
have long been a fan of the European Bastard Sword because of its
versatility and functionality. The Bastard Sword is a fantastic
example of martial arts evolution. A history of form follows function
while still keeping the utility of its predecessors.
If
price is not a problem, then the best option would be the combination
of Albion Armorers Next
Generation Mercenary Sword and the Albion Armorers Squire
Line 15th Century Bastard Sword.
The
Albion Mercenary for cutting and the Squire Line Bastard Sword for
training and sparring.
