The medieval longsword is known for its long double-edged blade, typically measuring between 36 and 42 inches. This design allowed it to be used effectively in two-handed grips, offering more reach and leverage during use. This style was favored by knights during the late Middle Ages and Renaissance era, making it one of the most recognizable sword types in European history.

Measuring a total of 44 inches, with a 35-inch blade and a 9-inch grip, the balance and geometry are designed to closely match originals found in museums and private collections. Whether you're a historical enthusiast, a fantasy fan, or someone searching for a premium display piece, this longsword captures the authenticity that collectors crave.

In addition to cultural popularity, many collectors appreciate the medieval longsword for its symbolism. It represents chivalry, balance, and the enduring values of discipline and honor. The symmetry of the blade and the aesthetic of the hilt often make it the centerpiece in sword displays, medieval-themed interiors, or gallery walls showcasing historical replicas.
