Alexandria Sword

The Darksword Armory Alexandria Sword is our recreation of one of the most famous swords of the 15^th century. An Oakeshott Type XVIIIc, this style of sword was heavily influenced by the armor of the day and had a wide-based blade tapering to a thin point. Like many Renaissance swords therefore, the Alexandria is a true cut-and-thrust longsword; capable of piercing vulnerable locations in an opponent’s armor, but also effective as a slashing weapon. The classic steel fittings complete the look of a sword that is in perfect balance between a thing of beauty and a weapon of war.
