The 15th-century arming sword is a type of one-handed sword that was commonly used throughout Europe, especially during the late medieval period. This sword type was a key weapon for knights, soldiers, and even civilian defense during the 14th and 15th centuries.
Evolution:
- The 15th century saw the gradual evolution of the arming sword into more specialized types of swords, such as the longsword and side-sword. As plate armor became more common and advanced, the arming sword was increasingly used in combination with armor-piercing techniques, and the length of swords grew to handle both armor and cutting techniques better.
- The arming sword also featured in the early Renaissance, where it began to take on a more ceremonial aspect, though it continued to be used in battle as well.
Arming Sword in Popular Culture:
- The 15th-century arming sword has influenced many depictions in modern media of medieval combat. While commonly portrayed in films and books about knights and the medieval period, it is often romanticized or adapted into more fantastical versions.
This 15th Century Arming Sword has a blade of high carbon steel; the guard and pommel are steel and the grip is wrapped in tight leather to complete the sword. Included is a wood-core scabbard bound and stitched with a quality leather binding.
