Practical Marshall Sword

This sword is classically styled, with a cruciform hilt, wheel pommel, and a ridged-and-fullered blade that is both stiff and surprisingly light. Fully tempered 1566 high-carbon steel has been hardened to 50HRC yet un-edged and un-pointed to ensure these swords minimize injury. The tangs are also substantial, with radiused corners at the blade shoulders and no welds. A scabbard with adjustable belt rings is included. It is made of glass-filled resin to eliminate swelling and to minimize blade corrosion problems.
