Tang is prepared, fuller is included and blade edges dull, and is tempered just right, all ready for your final touches.

*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 .

Taper

There are two types of physical blade taper, distal and profile. Distal tapering refers to a blade's cross-section thinning from its base to its tip. This is used to create the handling characteristics of individual blades and the amount of distal taper varies depending upon the intended purpose of the blade.

I am very impressed with the quality and finish of the blade.
I normally make my own blades. This time, time was against me.
Now I wounder why I bother making my own!
Your quality is very good and saves me hours of labour.

Thank you for your great service and quick delivery.

A beautiful hand forged sword This is a clearly hand forged blade that is tough as nails. For the money I don't know how they do it! It can easily be converted to a sharp or blunt sword depending on your tastes or requirements. The blade has alot of character, and does not have the dull appearance that CNC milled swords do. It would suit making into an Oakeshott Type Xa but also has a nice long tang making it suitable to make into a two hander or bastard sword. You've done it again Medieval Fight Club!
