Key Features That Set It Apart

High-Polished Stainless Steel Blade

The foundation of this historic weapon is its 32-inch blade, showcasing a premium, high-mirror polish that highlights its broad, flat profile and sharply tapering point. True to its historical classification, the blade features a distinct fuller running down the upper half, engineered by master smiths to reduce weight while leaving a rigid, reinforced lower section optimized for both powerful cuts and precise thrusts. Crafted from low-maintenance stainless steel, it effortlessly resists rust and tarnish, offering a museum-quality display piece without the burden of constant oiling.

Authentic Type XIV Hilt & Graceful Curved Guard

This replica perfectly captures the lethal elegance of high-medieval armor piercing weaponry. It features a robust, elegantly downturned crossguard paired with a thick, solid wheel pommel. This specific hilt architecture serves as a critical counterweight, pulling the balance point back toward the hand to allow for the rapid, agile, and fluid recovery movements required in close-quarters combat.

Leather-Wrapped Metal Grip

Experience a secure, historically accurate hold. The robust 7-inch handle features a heavy cast-metal base completely wrapped in tightly bound, textured genuine leather. This layout ensures a highly reliable, non-slip grip that feels substantial, perfectly balanced, and highly responsive in the hand whether wielded at an event or proudly displayed on an armory wall.

Included Premium Leather Scabbard

Protect your historic investment with pride. This sword comes complete with a custom-fitted, genuine leather scabbard built for safe storage, smooth transport, or seamless integration into your medieval knight armor kits, sword belts, or wall hangers.

A Historical Masterpiece: The Oakeshott Type XIV sword was born out of absolute necessity. As traditional mail armor gave way to heavy leather and early steel plates, knights required a sword that could both slash through soft targets and deliver devastating thrusts into small gaps. Wielded widely during the early stages of the Hundred Years' War, it remains a favorite among historians for its perfect blend of agility, power, and iconic silhouette.
