King Henry V Sword, Windlass
Ewart Oakeshott, a renowned English sword enthusiast, researcher, and author of important books on the sword, described King Henry V's sword as... one of the most beautiful medieval swords he ever held. It is balanced like a good fishing rod.
It is a sword designed to be a top-tier weapon: simple, practical, and of high quality. The huge, thick pommel seems deceptively heavy, but it is actually hollow. The protruding edges on both sides were welded to an inner iron disc. The hollows of the pommel were gilded and accented with red crosses painted for the King's funeral. The sword hung over King Henry's tomb in Westminster Abbey until it was eventually stored in a chest. In 1951, it was discovered, cleaned (by Mr. Oakeshott himself!), and added to the rest of King Henry's equipment (his helmet, shield, and saddle) in the Abbey museum. It was obviously used frequently; the blade appears to be slightly narrowed due to multiple sharpenings. The original grip long ago disappeared, and the current wooden grip is likely a rough replacement. This sword is known as a Type XVIII in Oakeshott’s records of the medieval sword.
As a prince, at the age of 16, Henry almost died from an arrow that pierced his face. As king, he led a small group of knights and archers to victory over a much larger French force at the Battle of Agincourt, one of the most astonishing achievements in English military history.
This Windlass Steelcrafts sword is an accurate replica of the iconic sword of Henry V. Like the original, it is a relatively short weapon designed for quick cuts and thrusts. The blade is slightly hollow-ground. It is very well balanced and fits very well in the hand. Just like the original, the pommel is hollow, has a gold finish in the hollows, and has a red enamel cross on each side (enamel was used instead of paint for greater durability). An exact replica of a real battle sword once carried by the King of England. A design with just the right touch to give it an air of elegance, but without a doubt a pragmatic and effective cutting weapon.
Includes scabbard and belt crafted from premium leather.
