Protector Crucifer, early 14thC

'Protector Crucifer', early 14th century, inspired by original examples from European museums.
Dark brown grip, brass pommel with brass inserts.

This design combines features of my earlier 'Protector' project and several 14th-century light longsword concepts, with references to the symbolism of the knight's cross in the pommel inserts.
The sword is light and agile, especially in either hand. The blade has good stiffness while maintaining a low weight and balance close to the crossguard. The round pommel and tight two-handed grip also provide powerful cuts and excellent control along the entire length of the blade. This sword can be used equally freely with just one hand.

Scabbard

Note: This sword, like any handcrafted sword in the medieval style, can have traces of the manufacturing process, minor irregularities or asymmetries resulting from the specificity of real craftsmanship and medieval understanding of aesthetics, that are completely normal and do not affect the quality of the sword, but give it a unique original character, consistent with medieval objects of the same kind.
