    Highly Detailed Stainless Hilt
    Forged 5160 Spring Steel Blade
    Sidearm of the Landsknecht, the Katzbalger
    During the Renaissance, the arming sword worn by the German mercenaries known as the Landsknecht was the Katzbalger. Mainly a secondary weapon, this arming sword was a last defense against adversaries. The distinctive S-shape guard and blade profiles gives this sword it's place in history.
    Beautifully reproduced to specifications of Kingston Arms, the feel and balance of the Katzbalger will surprise the wielder with it's proportions. With the balance point just over two inches from the detailed stainless steel S-shaped guard, the configuration allows this weighty sword to be quick and powerful.

    Comments
    : Superb reproduction. Massive, but well balanced, fast and powerful - a deadly sidearm with unique design. Recommended, if you have it in the budget I promise you won't be disappointed. The only other ones I've seen online are quite a bit more expensive and frankly don't look as well crafted. Comes moderately sharp. I'm a collector and a weekend warrior, active in my local Adria group and Renaissance Fairs. See my Seller ratings and buy with confidence. Plus I ship fast!
