Knight's Riding Sword, Type XVI
(History Lives)

Knight's Riding Sword - According to Ewart Oakeshott. "Records of the Medieval Sword", page 151.
An identical one is shown on two early 14th century effigies in Germany. (i), of Arnold I Langraph of Cleve, + 1320 in Stiftskirche at Cleve, and (ii), of one of the hero-figures, c. 1308, in the Rathaus at Cologne.  Not only are hilts of the swords on these figures exactly the same as this sword, but the size is too,, more proof (if any more is needed, which it shouldn't be) that these short swords were not made for boys, or archers etc., but for knights and in this case, great nobles.

Note .. The construction of this sword makes it suitable for Steel-to-Steel.
Also Note..This sword (and or dagger) comes very sharp.
These instruments are NOT toys, their use requires the training and supervision of a qualified Teacher or Trainer in
 sword use or fencing. Their use in ANY other form (i.e. chopping trees down in the backyard, etc. ;-) can result
 in severe injury to the user and to the instrument, and is not warranted by Imperial Weapons. If you are not
qualified, DO NOT attempt to use these instruments before securing qualified instruction. Owning an instrument
 such as this carries with it a responsibility to gain the instruction needed to become proficient and qualified in its
 use. Users should contact a qualified Trainer or Teacher or join a fencing club to receive proper training. The
 necessary training is NOT available via books or videos; and no, it is definitely not as easy as it looks. Imperial
 Weapons, its employees, nor associated companies, assume no responsibility for injury, damage, or loss incurred
 by use of these instruments. All edged instruments can be dangerous when handled by ill-trained or
 non-trained personnel. We cannot stress too strongly that, without exception, the user of these instruments must
 get the proper training to insure their own safety and the safety of others.
