The Gunthur – Medieval Arming Sword
Price:
$124.99
Designed as the knight’s everyday sidearm, the Gunthur balances cutting power with a keen thrusting profile. Its broad, fullered blade is hand-forged from EN45 high-carbon steel and stoutly peened to the tang for durability. A graceful, S-curved steel crossguard and wheel pommel provide positive blade control, while the leather-wrapped wooden grip sits securely in the hand. The sword arrives with a leather-wrapped, wood-core scabbard fitted with dual buckle straps for easy belt carry.
Arming swords of the 13th century were the constant companions of knights and professional men-at-arms. Compact enough for riding and daily wear, they offered a fast draw and a versatile blade capable of both decisive cuts and armor-seeking thrusts. This style dominated Europe through the High Middle Ages and saw service from the tournament field to the crusading routes.
