Early Renaissance Sidesword aka Side Sword, a Cut and Thrust Sword - Bruce Brookhart Line by Kingdom of Arms.
The spada da lato or Side Sword is a modern term widely used by historians and museum curators. This type of sword can be thought of as a transitional phase between earlier medieval one-handed cut and thrust swords and later rapiers. Side swords generally appear prior to rapiers but did not disappear with the advent of the rapier but where popular in a military context. Oakeshott tells us they appeared about 1470, and this cut and trust type represented here is from about 1490/1520 with the round pommel instead of a wheel pommel. With the pommel behind the wrist and the index finger over the guard inside the front arm of the hilt the balance is shifted slightly forward and brings the point into balance for precise thrust. The sword includes a wood lined leather covered scabbard. The blade is extremely sharp and is from very durable 5160 carbon steel.
Specifications:
Overall Length: 38 ½”
Blade: 3/16’’x1 ½” x 32 ½”
Point of Balance: 3 ½” below cross.
Weight: 2.0 lbs 4.6 oz
Features:
Hand forged 5160 tempered carbon steel blade, blade sharp. Everything on this sword is hand done just as an original sword.
Guard and pommel are made from a quality low carbon steel and antiqued to lower the possibility of rust from handling.
Custom made high-end wood scabbard with quality leather fittings is included.
The Sidesword matches with the Parrying Dagger for two handed sword play.

Well crafted sword, sharp right out of the box. Very happy with the feel of the grip and overall quality. Also great that it came with a scabbard!
This is a gorgeous blade! It's very lightweight but beautifully crafted sword. Clyde was super responsive to answer questions about the order! Will be purchasing from KoA again!
You are so kind.
Thank you
This is my master sword. I have researched and tinkered for 15 years. It is beautifully rife with imperfections. It slid through the box while removing the handle plastic (!!!). I’ve had this for a few months and I must say, I will not be purchasing another sword in my entire life. I love you and your team.
Thank you Mr. Dallas.
We love having happy customers.
