Ekkehard, classic sword, corca 1250

'Ekkehard', classic medieval one handed sword, circa 1250, inspired by original examples from European museums. 

Black grip with 6 risers, straight crossguard, brass pommel.

This is a sword inspired by the sword of Margrave Ekkehard II, visible in sculptures in the cathedral in Naumburg, Germany, around 1250.
However, I was inspired not only by the sculpture and its proportions, which are sometimes dictated by the technical possibilities of the sculptural material, but also by original swords of a similar typological form. In addition, examples from Germany were used, currently located in museums in several European countries.

The sword is light, gives excellent control, simple in form, with a comfortable ergonomic handle. It will also work perfectly in practicing the techniques from the manuscript I:33.
This typological form of the sword, so common in the 13th century, has become synonymous with the classic type of knightly sword of medieval Europe. As you can see, it is a simple, cross-shaped form, devoid of ornaments and decorations, purely functional and characteristic.
