SWMZ-1005 Swordier Type XIV Arming Sword With Spring Steel Blade

The Swordier Type XIV Arming Sword is a finely crafted medieval weapon, designed in collaboration with Phillip Martin. This sword is based on a custom commission he made to Swordier, maintaining the same blade geometry as the original but featuring a high-performance spring steel blade instead of the pattern-welded steel used in the first version.

Historical Inspiration & Design
This arming sword follows the Type XIV classification in Oakeshott’s typology, characterized by its broad base, reinforced diamond cross-section, and strong thrusting tip, making it effective against both mail and early plate armor. Additionally, the pommel design is an innovative fusion of Type I and Type I1 styles, giving it a unique yet historically inspired aesthetic.
