UC3565: Honshu Historic Forge 14th Century Double Fuller Sword

United Cutlery

The Honshu Historic Forge 14th Century Double Fuller Sword is a testament to medieval craftsmanship and innovation, offering a functional and historically inspired sword for collectors and enthusiasts. This impressive blade pays homage to the weaponry of the 14th century, a period marked by significant advances in both armor and sword design. With a powerful 26.5" double-edged blade and a substantial 41 ounce weight, it is a sword built for function. 

A key feature of the design is the double fuller, an innovation that became prominent in the 14th century. A fuller's true purpose is to lighten the sword without compromising its structural integrity, much like an I-beam. By removing more material from the center of the blade, the double fuller allowed smiths to create a weapon that was significantly lighter and faster, enabling a wielder to strike with greater agility against the heavy plate armor of the period. This sword's blade is forged from durable 1065 carbon steel, providing a perfect balance of toughness and edge retention.

The sword's authentic design continues through its construction, featuring a hardwood handle with a comfortable leather wrap for a secure grip. A matching hardwood sheath, also wrapped in leather, ensures safe transport and adds to its display appeal. Combining a classic aesthetic with the renowned durability of Honshu's Historic Forge line, this sword is an exceptional piece for any aspiring medieval collector.
