This type of sword can be thought of as a transitional phase between earlier medieval one-handed cut and thrust swords and later rapiers. Side swords generally appear prior to rapiers but did not disappear with the advent of the rapier but where popular in a military context. Oakeshott tells us they appeared about 1470, and this cut and trust type represented here is from about 1490\/1520 with the round pommel instead of a wheel pommel. With the pommel behind the wrist and the index finger over the guard inside the front arm of the hilt the balance is shifted slightly forward and brings the point into balance for precise thrust. The sword includes a wood lined leather covered scabbard. The blade is extremely sharp and is from very durable 5160 carbon steel.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecifications:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOverall Length: 38 ½”\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eBlade: 3\/16’’x1 ½” x 32 ½”\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ePoint of Balance: 3 ½” below cross.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eWeight: 2.0 lbs 4.6 oz\u003cbr\u003eProd# KoA801\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFeatures:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eHand forged\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e 5160 tempered carbon steel blade, blade sharp.  \u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eEverything on this sword is hand done\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e just as an original sword.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eGuard and pommel are made from a quality low carbon steel and antiqued to lower the possibility of rust from handling.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eCustom made high-end wood scabbard\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e with quality leather fittings is included.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe Sidesword matches with the Parrying Dagger for two handed sword play.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVideo of Bruce Brookhart test cutting with the Cut and Thrust Sidesword.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"727\" height=\"409\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/t8QFiU09hss\" title=\"YouTube video player\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Kingdom Of Arms","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43834341589035,"sku":"KoA801","price":599.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0558\/3752\/4011\/files\/KoA801c_275f82b3-1ea2-4ff8-8640-8e3f79cbc8e0.jpg?v=1774553115","url":"https:\/\/gothicfantasy.com\/products\/sidesword-cut-and-thrust-bruce-brookhart-line-by-koa","provider":"Gothic Fantasy","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
