Mercenary Sword Includes Free Engraving

Some of the greatest characters in both history and fiction have been mercenaries. From Inigo Montoya of The Princess Bride fame, to Demaratus -- mercenary and former king of Sparta -- mercenaries are rich, colorful characters. They are hired swords who wander the world, earning their keep with what they know best: combat. This sword is a tip of the hat to all of them, real or otherwise. Although not a true hand and a half sword, it does have a grip wide enough for some hand-and-a-half work. The so-called "scent-stopper" pommel (a pommel in the shape of a perfume bottle top) is especially long, creating extra room and vaulting this sword into the "hybrid" hand and a half sword classification. There are several prominent features on this sword. The most prominent one is the extremely wide blade. This width gives the sword a rugged look that would have added to the a mercenary's prestige. The blade is made from high-carbon steel and features a pleasantly wide fuller running about halfway down the blade. The next most impressive features are the scalloped brass crossguards that arch gracefully toward the blade. The grip is ridged smartly and wrapped with black leather; It feels secure and very comfortable in the hand, and looks menacing when the blade is sheathed. The scabbard for this sword is custom fitted, with large notched accent plates of brass on the throat and tip. It's a wonderful home for the sword and makes the sword look great whether it's in the hand or in the sheath. This sword includes a free personalized engraving.
