Protector, German Longsword, 14thC

Protector - German Longsword, early 14th century, inspired by original examples from European museums.
Black grip with 3 risers.

This design combines features of my earlier 'Protector' project and several 14th-century longsword concepts of this type.
The sword is light and agile, especially with both hand. The blade has good stiffness while maintaining a low weight and balance close to the crossguard. The rather large, oval 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.

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.
