15th Century Nicopolis Sword (Slovenia)

-
A hand-and-a-half longsword built for use with both hands, allowing thrusts, cuts, and parries in equal measure — a design closely comparable to an original held today by the Royal Armouries Museum, Leeds, which holds the UK’s national collection of historic armour and military equipment.

Landsknecht Katzbalger with Cutlery Set
SKU: AH2213The complete Landsknecht sidearm package — a Katzbalger with its characteristic S-shaped guard, paired with a pick and knife that would have been worn alongside it in the scabbard as part of the mercenary’s personal kit. Surviving examples of Katzbalger scabbards frequently feature attached cutlery, confirming this as an authentic feature of Landsknecht equipment rather than a modern addition.
-
A robust, five-fullered interpretation of the Katzbalger — the compact, brutal sidearm of the Landsknecht mercenaries who dominated European warfare in the 16th century. Built for the push-of-pike melee where longer blades became dangerously impractical, the Katzbalger’s S-shaped guard and short, stiff blade made it the ideal last-resort weapon for the most dangerous men on the battlefield.
-
A historically grounded interpretation of the Katzbalger drawn from period German sources — its double-edged, lenticular-section blade with S-shaped S-guard are faithful to the documented descriptions of original examples from around 1530. The distinctive fish-tail pommel and twisted guard arms ending in rounded tips reflect the variations in design that existed across Katzbalger examples of the period.
-
The Katzbalger was the defining sidearm of the Landsknecht mercenaries — the feared German foot soldiers who dominated the battlefields of 16th century Europe. Short, broad, and robust, it was designed specifically for the brutal close-quarters combat of a pike push, where longer swords became dangerously unwieldy. This version is based on an original in the Solingen Klingenmuseum, dated to c.1530–1550 — one of the finest surviving examples of the type.

-
The Khopesh was the sword of the pharaoh — a symbol of divine authority as much as a military implement, depicted in the hands of Egypt’s greatest rulers from Thutmose III to Ramesses the Great. This premium version embodies that ceremonial character, adorned with the serpent symbolism of royal Egypt and finished with the dignity befitting the most powerful rulers of the ancient world.
-
This black-bladed Khopesh draws on the serpent symbolism that was central to Egyptian royal iconography — the twin-headed cobra representing divine protection and pharaonic authority. Adorned on both sides of the blade with a twin-headed brass serpent, this updated version of Deepeeka’s Khopesh adds a layer of Egyptian artistic tradition to one of the ancient world’s most iconic blade forms.

Egyptian Kopesh
SKU: AH2201Kopesh, or sickle sword, based on the sword from Kurdani

Dating to around 2500 BC and originating as an adaptation of the crescent axe, the Kopesh defined Egyptian military power for over a thousand years.

Iberian Falcata – Bronze Fittings

-
Bronze Horse head Iberian Falcata
SKU: AH2155As feared as it was renowned, the Bronze Horse Head Iberian Falcata transports the collector to an age of fierce Celtiberian warriors defending their lands against Roman invasion. This bronze-fitted version carries the inward-curving, double-edged blade that inspired genuine fear in the heart of the Roman Republic before the Iberian Peninsula was finally conquered following the Second Punic War.
-
The Falcata was the primary sidearm of the Celtiberian warriors who fought against Carthage and Rome during the bloody conflicts of the 3rd–2nd centuries BC. When Hannibal crossed the Alps with his army in 218 BC, his Iberian and Celtiberian troops carried Falcatas — and Roman soldiers who survived encounters with them described their cuts as uniquely devastating. The horse head hilt is one of the most distinctive and beautiful features of the finest Iberian examples.
-
Iberian Falcata (Wooden Handle) Met Museum
SKU: AH2152The Falcata struck fear into the Roman legions who first encountered it during the conquest of Hispania — a forward-curving, single-edged sword capable of cutting through helmets and shields with a single blow, according to the Roman historian Livy. This wood-grip version offers a faithful interpretation of the type carried by Celtiberian warriors who fought against Rome through the long campaigns of the 2nd and 1st centuries BC.
-
The Kopis was the cutting sword of the ancient Greek world — a forward-curving single-edged blade that shifted its weight toward the tip, enabling powerful chopping and slashing strokes that complemented the thrusting spear of the hoplite phalanx. This version is based on a particularly beautiful original dated to around 320 BC, now in the National Archaeological Museum in Athens.

The 2nd century CE was the moment when the Roman army began its long transition away from the short Gladius toward the longer Spatha. This early form captures that transitional character — broader and longer than the Gladius that preceded it, yet not yet the fully evolved cavalry sword of the 3rd and 4th centuries. It was carried during the reigns of Trajan, Hadrian and Marcus Aurelius — the great soldier-emperors at the Imperial peak.
-
Late Roman Spatha (3rd–4th Century CE)
SKU: AH2013The Late Roman Spatha of the 3rd–4th century CE was the sword of an empire in transformation — longer than its predecessors, carried by cavalry and infantry alike, shaped by the tactical demands of defending a frontier that stretched from Scotland to Mesopotamia. By this period it had completely replaced the Gladius across the legions, and its direct descendants would become the swords of the medieval world.
-
The cutlass was the defining sidearm of the Golden Age of Piracy — a short, curved, single-edged blade designed for close-quarters fighting in the confined spaces of a ship’s deck. Carried by pirates, privateers and naval sailors alike from the late 17th through the 18th century, it was the practical working blade of the age of sail — built for chopping rather than fencing, and equally at home clearing rigging or repelling boarders.
-
