Description

The blade is forged from high carbon steel and shaped in a classic hand-and-a-half configuration, allowing both one-handed and two-handed use. The grip, formed as part of the writhen structure, offers secure handling while maintaining the aesthetic continuity of the design.

This Deepeeka Primus reproduction carefully captures the elegance and craftsmanship of the original, making it ideal for collectors, reenactors, and those seeking an authentic representation of late medieval European swordsmanship.

A wooden scabbard, tightly bound in leather and finished with decorative fittings, completes the ensemble.
