Irish Hand and a Half Sword
(History Lives)
IP-001 - Irish hand-and-a-half
sword. Our Generation 2 design, upgraded to Steel-to-Steel capability.
Dating around 1475 - 1525 A.D. It features a full tang construction,
high carbon blade that is flexible and strong. High polished steel
cross guard and pommel, leather wrapped handle. This sword is light
and quick. A wood scabbard that is wrapped in leather with steel
band at throat and steel tip is included.
-It features the our high quality fit and finish
that has been known for all Genertion2 swords.-
The picture just above shows the proportions
of the sword being held.
IP-002 - New the Irish
sword companion dagger. We have been debating and yes even procrastinating,
but the majority over-ruled. So now after much patience (on our customers
part) we have created the Irish hand-and-a-half dagger. This very
light piece is made just like our popular sword and will go well with the
sword you have.
Sword
Blade length: 34 1/2"
Handle/Hilt length: 11 1/2"
Overall: 46"
Balance Point: 3.5" Below Hilt
Weight: 2. lbs. 8oz.
Dagger
Blade length: 11"
Handle/Hilt length: 8 1/2"
Overall: 19 1/2"
Note: The blade
is 3/16" high carbon spring steel with a full hefty tang. We tested
it on several 2"x4" standing up and split them with no marring on the blade.
We then tested it on a 2"x4" cross ways resting on each side on a solid
rest and came straight down. It did not cut all the way through but
it did cut deep and again did not mar the blade or edge. We then
went to the ultimate test Steel-to-SteelSM. We did
9 good blows, it nicked the blade but did not break the blade not break
the tang or handle in either of these test.
