This sword is based on an original used
by one of England's finest knights, Sir William Marshall, who served the
crown faithfully under Henry II, Richard the Lionheart, and Jack Lackland.
The Marshall sword is available with either a forged high-carbon steel
blade, (Model 2000-GT) or a forged and folded Swedish powder steel blade
(Model 2001-GT). Both blades are identical in handling characteristics
and both are tempered to a tough HRC 52. The blade section features a central
ridged fuller and full-length distal taper--a tough test for the bladesmith,
but resulting in a superb combination of speed and strength. The grip is
leather wrapped and laced and the guard and pommel are elegant in their
functional simplicity. The scabbard is leather-covered with steel mounts.
Truly a sword for the connoisseur.
