SH2001 - Sir William Marshall Sword

SH2001 - Sir William Marshall Sword - Damascus Blade
Our single-hand Marshall Sword sets (SH2000, SH2001 - Damascus) new standards of quality and
authenticity in broadsword construction. The sword is based on an original, now in a British musuem, used
by one of England’s finest knights, Sir William Marshall, who served the crown faithfully under Henry II,
Richard the Lionheart and Jack Lackland. The single-hand Marshall Sword is available with either a forged
high-carbon steel blade (Model SH2000) or a forged - folded Swedish powder steel blade (Model
SH2001). Both blades are identical in handling characteristics and both are tempered to a tough HRC 52.
The blade section features a central ridged fuller and full-length distal taper - a tough test for the bladesmith
but resulting in a superb combination of speed and strength. The grip is leather wrapped and laced and the
guard and pommel are elegant in their functional simplicity. The scabbard is leather-covered with steel
mounts. Truly a sword for the connoisseur
