Sword Blade Type-5 Longsword 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.

*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.

This is an excellent blade and now is part of my Darksword Armory Excalibur replica which has been made with the pommel, grip, and crossguard that they sell separately from Montreal in Canada. You people at Medieval Fightclub need to look into making more parts - blades, pommels, grips, and crossguards because looking at the internet you are one of the very few suppliers who make thes products available.

The example of this blade that I have comes in at nearly 400mg under the specified weight. That's a fair bit of mass to be missing. I mention this as is reduces the options for modifying the blade. It maintains a continual 3mm thickness for the entire length of the blade.
The tang is good and thick and the shoulders are crisply done.
The blade begins tapering 30mm before the shoulder of the blade -going from 6mm to 3mm thickness. This is going to make the tight fitting of a hilt interesting.
The tip of mine is uneven, but as I am intending to use my as a training blunt, the point will be ground off for safety.
The blade has wobbles and a bit of flop to it -it deflects under it's own weight by about 15mm over the length of the blade.
The temper seems good.

Great sword base Brought blade about a month back. Just got around to finishing the fittings and assemble. Turned out great I actually sharpened and reshaped is a tough blade great value and time saver

Starter Weapon This is good for a basic sword for a begginner who is only interested in brawling or basic swordsmanship.
Pay special attention though that it may not appear like in the picture, different batches have different shapes.
My last one came with a flat nosed tip, I was able to fix it though.

It is a very good price though.

Great start. Good value and the base for several of my swords. To be honest, I don't know where else to get these for this price so I've never used another!
