All of the weapons in this section are constructed of the finest materials available, from sturdy wood and leather on the grips, to the best high-carbon steels money can buy.

Infantry Broadsword
The broadsword has been the mainstay of lowtech militias for centuries. Our model boasts a slightly longer grip then is usual, for thoes heated moments in battle when two hands are better then one.
OAL-39'' / Blade - 31''x2'' / wt - 3.5 lb / grips - wood and leather

Classical Shortsword
Taken from the unstoppable legions of Rome, this shortsword is one of the most brutally effective killing tools ever devised. From its broad blade, ideal for slashing, to its needlesharp point designed to pierce light armor at close quarters, this is a weapon that will stand by you on any battlefield.
OAL - 28'' / blade - 19.5''x2.5'' / wt - 2.6 lb / grips - carved wood

OAL - 57'' / blade - 42'' / wt - 6 lb / grips - carved wood

 

Basket-Hilt Claymore
The claymore is the time-honored weapon of the fierce Highland Scots, and with good reason. Combining the protection of a fully enclosed basket-hilt with the offensive power of a broad blade equally suited to cutting or thrusting, the Claymore is truly a weapon to be feared.
OAL - 39'' / blade - 32.2'' / wt - 3.25 lb / grips - leather and wood, brass basket

OAL - 45'' / blade - 37'' / wt - 2.5 lb / grips - resin impregnated bone

 

Flanged Mace
For ages, the mace has been used as a symbol of power and rule. Our gothic-style version will crush through the heaviest armor you'd be likely to find on the lowtech battlefield, assuring your rule.
OAL - 25'' / wt - 4 lb / grips - wood and leather

 

Morningstar
Originally used as an agricultural implement, the flail is admirably suited to warfare. The chained head increases the force of a blow, and the addition of spikes makes our model that much more deadly. Reap your opponents like wheat with our Morningstar !
OAL - 33'' / ball - 4'' dia / wt - 4.4 lb / haft - wood

 

Dagger
For thoes last - ditch efforts in the heat of battle, or chores around camp, few weapons can beat the Dagger for pure utility. Our model is long enough to penetrate deeply into a foe, stout enough to trim wood for the campfire, and stylish enough to wear to court. A main gauche version is also available.
OAL - 15'' / blade - 10'' / wt - 1 lb / grips - wood

 

Halberd
A sword or axe may be a fine choice when the action gets close, but veterans know that a polearm is the best way to assure your enemy stays at a comfortable distance. Our Halberd is light and quick, ideal for use in mass formations or on the tourney field.
OAL - 7'10'' / blade l - 10'' / blade wd - 12'' / wt - 7 lb

OAL - 32'' / blade - 6'' / spike 4'' / wt - 4 lb / haft - leather and wood

 

Crossbow
Why a crossbow, you might ask? Its a simple matter of economics. It can take many years to train a longbowman until he is proficient. One can teach the fundamentals of the crossbow in a single afternoon, and become quite proficient within a month.
