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 1500's. The combat styles developed for the Bastard sword were the particular specialty of the Northern European cultures, with the Germanic nations being at the forefront in its development and use.

Our beautiful range of Battle Ready Swords are perfect for re-enactors or collectors who like to practice with their swords to better understand them. Made of tempered carbon steel with a full tang and strong fixings, these swords are made to wail!

The Standard Temper produces a more durable sword blade that is likely more suitable for re-enactment and sparring. The Ultra Temper is to produce a blade that holds a sharp edge.
