Description
Unleash your inner knight with our Medieval Type XVI Oakeshott Typology Knightly Sword, a true homage to the chivalric age of Europe.
Expertly hand-made from durable steel, this sword shows both the elegance and practicality of late-medieval craftsmanship.
The Oakeshott Type XVI emerged around the 14th century, when European battlefields were dominated by heavily armored warriors. Knights required a weapon capable of both powerful cutting and precise thrusting, this design answered that call. With its slightly tapering blade and reinforced diamond cross-section, the sword could pierce chainmail or plate while maintaining fine cutting edges.
Our reproduction captures these defining traits, featuring a disc pommel, curved crossguard, and a leather-wrapped wooden grip for exceptional handling. The polished finish reflects noble sophistication, while the weight distribution allows for confident, one-handed strikes.
Whether displayed as a centerpiece or wielded in historical reenactments, this sword tells the timeless story of courage, loyalty, and honor. It represents the spirit of the medieval knight.
Each piece includes a brown leather scabbard and belt, making it ready to wear at Renaissance fairs, festivals, or during LARP adventures. With approximately 2 kg of balanced weight, it feels just as formidable as the originals that once shaped history.
