It is the simplicity of the design of this heavy broadsword that lends it such authenticity and appeal. This sword weighs a full 10 pounds, measures 33 ¾” long with a 27 ½” (unsharpened) double-edged, stainless-steel blade. The cast-metal hilt features brown cord wrapping at the top and bottm and wonderful cast detailing on the pommel and quillion.
