Rhinelander Bastard Sword

The Rhinelander Bastard Sword returns under the Kingston Arms brand. Refined and better balanced than its predecessor, our new version delivers devastating cuts and penetrating thrusts. A new 7" leather wrapped grip tapers evenly in the hand and allows for excellent purchase both single and two-handed. The peened pommel is smooth and seamless fitting perfectly in the palm of most hands. A deep ridged fuller offers a unique blade profile ideal for cut and thrusts.

Kingston Arm's Rhinelander Bastard sword, typical of late 15th century central European cut-and-thrust swords, is a handsome piece that will be appreciated by both collectors and cutting enthusiasts. The ring-guard hilt and scent-stopper pommel balance a riveted-tang fullered blade, forged in 5160 high-carbon steel and hardened to 54HRc for an optimal combination of edge-holding and resilience. A leather-wrapped scabbard is included.
