Description

The Great Sword is a long versatile two-handed blade, developed for powerful cuts and thrusts. The double-edged straight blade featured a flattened ricasso that allowed the swordsman to choke up on the blade for more control, dexterity and maneuverability in close quarters. The parrying hooks at the end of the ricasso kept the user’s hand from slipping onto the blade and catching blades or pole-arm shafts. Designed by CAS founder Barry Ross, the Kingston Arms Great Sword embodies all the attributes a sword aficionado would want in such a piece. At 56.25" long and weighing a 5 lbs., it falls within the parameters found in great swords of the period. The 39.5" blade has a 5.5" double grooved ricasso with 1.5" parrying hooks and a 14.25" blade fuller. The 16" handle features a 12.75" leather wrapped grip for easy handling and carrying over the shoulder. The double ringed, stainless-steel guard and pommel are a matte finish. From tip to tip, the guard is 15" wide with tapering 12.5mm thick quillions. With a balance point of 3" from the guard and a point of harmonics 19” from the tip, the Great Sword is beautifully balanced and highly functional.

This sword is a traditional, hand-forged blade inspired by Medieval and Renaissance warfare, created for collectors with an appreciation for sword craftsmanship.

Forged from Carbon Steel - 1566 using [forging method, e.g. clay tempering / differential hardening], it combines authentic construction with display-quality presentation.
