More than just a weapon, this sword served the honor-bound knight as a symbol of Fealty and Piety. The wheel pommel and straight guard combine with the blade to form a cross on which he would swear an oath or pray before battle. This sword extends the religious theme further with an engraved shield and cross on the pommel. The parts are steel. The grip is wood wrapped in leather and the blade is fully tempered high carbon steel on this well-balanced one-hand classic sword.
