Sword Blade Type-11 Troopers Blank

Want the perfect sword but forging and tempering are outside your skills or just too much effort? Do you love making swords but you are bored with making blades?

Use one of our 50rc (Rockwell "C" hardness) tempered blades and furnish and balance it yourself. Tang is prepared, fuller is included and blade edges dull, and is tempered just right, all ready for your final touches. Suitable for combat re-enactment, test cutting or any other purpose you would build a sword for.

This blade was designed for a bowl guard and the grip for bowl guard.

*Description of tang types
All our sword blade blanks have a full tang that is shaped and tempered from a single piece as part of the sword and not just welded on like many other sellers would sell you as a "full tang" in their inferior swords.
Tang profile type 1 - A standard non threaded full tang in the shape best suited to that sword type
Tang profile type 2 - A specific threaded full tang that is designed to work with our type 2 hilts, also compatible with Hutton swords. We use an M8 thread and is 100% compatible with our M8 threaded pommels.

Pommels and Guards and complete hilts
We also sell a range of pommels and guards (see one of the locations below). Some type 1 pommels and guards will work fine on the type 2 sword blanks. Just check the measurements brass pommels can be threaded without any difficulty or much experience.

Comment
I have two of these blades and I am seriously impressed.
Excellent for British broadsword styles.
I have bought pretty much the whole range of MFC blades and these are the best. Quality control is MUCH better- these blades lack the wavy, uneven grind I've found in the other blades. The grinding is clean and finished very well. The tang is pretty good with threaded flat bar welded to the end- Not a rat-tail. And, the weld looks very good and dependable. One of the examples I have has the weld cleaned up much better than the other but still good.
They seem much stiffer than other MFC blades and don't sag or flop about.

Would seriously be an excellent backsword blade for studying Silver if only 6" longer.
Please MFC, make this pattern blade available in 38" and we'll have an excellent Australian option for backswords and broardswords in a good length.

Very happy with the purchase and value for money.
