Description
Crecy War Sword: It is without a doubt that the Battle of Crecy was one of the most decisive battles of the 100 Years War between England and France. After the battle of Sluys, Edward III landed in Cotentin Peninsula and ravaged lower Normandy in July 1346 with about 10,000 men. The French pursued. Edward III decided to halt near Crecy in Normandy and to prepare for battle the next day.
The French vanguard made contact with the English and started to attack without the benefit of a strategic plan. The French made as many as 15 or 16 attacks through the night, but the English defeated each one in turn, primarily thanks to the English longbowmen. In the end, the French were decimated and the English had a decisive victory.
The Crecy is one type of sword that would have seen service on both sides during the 100 Years War.
Oakeshott describes the Type XVIa sword as having a long, tapering blade, broad at the hilt, with a sharp, often reinforced, point.
The elite Kingdom of Arms Crecy War sword is a fine example of a later period epee de guerre, or war sword, a refinement of the earlier XIIa in response to changes in the Armour of the period.
The blade is made from hand hammered 5160 carbon steel blade as the originals were made, full tang, heat treated and tempered as the originals, for a strong yet flexible blade that will hold a very sharp edge. Full Tang, Fully Functional (Battle Ready). Very light and very FAST! Steel pommel and cross-guard. Wooden scabbard wrapped in leather.
Specifications:
Blade Length: 33”
Handle Length: 10”
Grip Length: 7.875”
Cross Guard Width: 9.875"
Weight: 2 lbs 13 oz
P.O.B.: 2.25'' Below Hilt
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.
Add on: Add a Kingdom of Arms Exclusive Sword Belt.

A quality sword demands a quality scabbard! Just like a great car needs a great paint job. They go together.

The sword is very well balanced with good fittings, feels great in the hands. There is a slight twist in the blade, but it is negligible. Quite sharp out of the box. The scabbard is a little loose, but not so much to be an issue. I'd say it is a very good value for the price, maybe not as high end as Albion or similarly priced makers, but it makes up for it in affordability and you won't have a 2 year wait time.
Sword is well balanced, fittings are tight. The belt you can add isn’t worth it, cheap and stiff. I paid for the sharpened package but the blade is dull. Overall the sword seems decent, accessories could be better and, if ordered sharp, it should arrive sharp! By itself, I’d give the sword 4 stars. It’s the dull blade (when ordered sharp) and accessories that bring it down
Yes, the belt is stiff because it is brand new leather and will get softer as you keep wearing it. You may put mink oil and soften it up.
The blade does come sharp from the forge. If you have tried to cut with it and it is not sharp, we can exchange it.
Just let us know.
So, question. Are we 4 stars as you stated, or 3 stars as shown. What do we need to do?
Thank you Sir.
