Type XV Blade

Description

Type XV Blade

Our Type XV Blade features a hand ground linear diamond distal taper that is 1.75″ wide at the forte and .5″ at the tip. This blade is ground to the specs of the Oakeshott XV typology swords. Our Blades are made from high quality 5160 spring steel bar stock tempered to the optimal point where maximum toughness & durability meets hardness, 50 Rockwell C. This blade has a polished finish and the flex is centered in the tip third of the blade. The Type XV blade is our specific blade meant for cutting and thrusting single hand swords common throughout the 13th, 14th, and 15th centuries. It’s a favorite for those practicing from the I33 manual! Great for SCA Cut & Thrust and HEMA combat.

This blade is offered in a blade length of 31.5″ measured from the tang shoulder to the tip. This blade is offered only with M8x1.25 thread.

Finally, we offer two tip types: Normal Tip (NT) (+$0.00), the standard rounded tip that accepts a rubber blunt and Spatulated Tip (ST) (+$11.00), a swelled and rounded tip that offers tip width of no less than 5mm.
