This sword is refurbished from a 1st generation Hanwei Practical Hand and a Half sword blade as an accurate functional type XVII longsword.  The pommel is milled from 1030 steel while the cross is forged 1050 steel and features Gothic-inspired file and pierce work.  The grip is fine garment grade leather wrapped around heat-treated walnut.  The full tang is forged out from the blade, through the cross, grip and pommel and has been hot-piened to form a strong bind.  The blade has a good geometry that allows for strong thrusts.
