Product description

This one-handed sword for buhurt is built in the spirit of Crusader-era European swords. The shape and proportions are guided by historical sources and period analogs, while the build is focused on practical use in full contact.

The handling is tuned with balance closer to the guard. That helps maintain tempo, recover faster after strikes, and keep the blade under control in tight exchanges and clinch situations. For new fighters it feels more manageable; for experienced fighters it supports combinations and counterwork.

The grip geometry is meant for confident purchase with gauntlets/gloves. The etched handle is decorative, while the working grip area remains functional and easy to maintain. The pommel carries a Maltese cross motif; the Latin inscription is a stylistic nod to Crusader symbolism.

The sword is made with safe combat geometry in mind, which is relevant for typical tournament inspections. Final acceptance always depends on the rules of the specific organization/format, the current condition of the sword, and the required edge rounding before the fight.

Maintenance: wipe dry after training, keep a light oil film for storage, check guard/pommel tightness, and regularly inspect edge radii and contact surfaces. If cosmetic areas get damaged, prioritize restoring safety and handling characteristics during repair.

A version with your artwork is available (without implying fully individualized fitting): the design and placement are coordinated to keep ergonomics and safety consistent.
