    This sword is an Oakeshott Type X with a Type I pommel and a Type VII crossguard. The long and wide fuller on this blade lightens the overall sword and make it possible to deliver fast and shearing cuts, capable of cutting through the mail and padding that were worn during the period. The long guard offers good protection from an opponent's shield or blade, while the classic wheel pommel brings the sword very nicely into balance. This type of sword was in service for a long period of time throughout all of Europe. Made by Windlass Steelcrafts®.  Includes scabbard, can be sharpened for additional fee.

    Just got this today and I am very happy with the sword itself. Well balanced and easy to wield. Only problem I have is with the personal engraving I had done on it. It came with rust already on the middle initial. Worried that if I sand it off it will ruin the engraving. The sharpening service was extraordinary though. Recommend this for any collection.

    This is one of their better offerings, despite some of the inconsistencies. I picked mine up secondhand from someone who'd bought theirs from MR directly. There was some play in the crossguard that got fixed by a judicious application of epoxy- no more rattles! The grip was suspect too, but a shim and a new leather re-wrap took care of that. The sword is sharp, prominent second bezel to the blade but it is a solid hack and slash style of sword; very authoritative in the cut- perfectly suitable for the period it is styled for - circa Hastings through the Crusades. The sword has significant presence...even though it is right at 3 lbs, the weight/mass distribution with an emphasis towards the point makes it a very capable cutter- but from horseback, this sword's ability becomes frightening. With a point-heavy blade, a downward strike would be devastating! With that said, it is, or was, a very plain Jane type of sword, no frills, all business. I prettied mine up somewhat, giving it new leather on the grip (oxblood red) and a Celtic cross concho on the pommel to make it pop. All in all, this is a good sword- perfect for the beginner backyard cutter or re-enactor.

    This is a great entry level sword. Good balance, good weight and just feels good in the hand. Given it's blade length, there is very little whippy feeling when cutting. Mine came VERY sharp, this has to be the sharpest sword I own now..holds an edge very well. Cons: crossguard became slightly loose, but that was my fault for hitting my cutting stand so..not really a Windlass issue. The scabbard is thin, but it has a little nub so if someone wanted to put this in a belt/frog for wear, it works great. The pommel and crossguard does rust pretty easily, but just keep it oiled and you should be fine.

    Very well made. Once sharpened this sword holds the edge.

    Good sword for the type. Is one of the few Windlass keeps in stock instead of limited runs. I really cannot fault this sword for the price and would recommend it for someone looking for a good entry level blade.

    A great representation of 12th century blade. Great handling, seems to cut through the air and anything else with ease.

    Good asthetic copy, and just enough thickness to the blade to be useful for chain mail reenactment.
