Hanwei-Forged Hand-and-a-half Sword with Antiqued Patina

The Swiss and Germans originally carried these weapons, although Bastard swords soon became popular in other regions such as the British Isles and Europe.
The term Bastard undoubtedly comes from the fact that the sword, because of its design, has no legitimate claim to being classified as either a uniquely single-handed or two-handed weapon. The Bastard sword was a weapon developed for the use of the foot soldier and had became quite common by the early 1500s. Our Bastard Sword is finished in an antique patina, making for an outstandingly authentic appearance. The leather-covered scabbard features a patinated steel chape and tip.
