SHOP CASE KNIVESThe 23" Medieval Short Sword from Neptune Trading Inc. is a finely crafted, compact replica designed for collectors, reenactors, and enthusiasts of medieval weaponry. Modeled after historical short swords used throughout the Middle Ages and Renaissance, this piece captures both the aesthetic and functional essence of a true sidearm of the era. With a total length of 23 inches, it’s a practical option for those interested in display, cosplay, or understanding medieval close-combat tactics.
The short sword was historically favored for its versatility in confined spaces. Whether wielded during castle sieges, in narrow city streets, or as a backup weapon in battle, its manageable size and double-edged blade made it a reliable tool for both offense and defense. Used primarily for thrusting and slashing, the short sword complemented larger primary weapons like spears or longswords. Its speed and maneuverability made it a trusted companion for knights, infantry, and even civilians during times of unrest.
Neptune Trading Inc.’s interpretation of this iconic weapon features a 17-inch stainless steel blade with a mirror-polished finish, offering both durability and a refined appearance. The double-edged blade ensures balanced performance for various combat styles. A gently curved crossguard enhances hand protection while flowing seamlessly into the blade’s profile. The ribbed handle, wrapped in black for secure grip and historical accuracy, ensures control during use and adds to the sword's authentic look.
Capping the handle is a scent stopper-style pommel, a classic design known for its rounded, bulbous shape. More than just a decorative feature, this pommel acts as a counterbalance to the blade, improving the sword’s handling and overall stability. The sword includes a black scabbard with a metal chape and throat, as well as a brown leather belt for ease of carry or display.
Whether displayed on a wall or worn as part of a historical costume, the 23" Medieval Short Sword blends traditional craftsmanship with functional design. Its proportions, materials, and construction reflect the legacy of close-quarters medieval combat while catering to modern collectors and enthusiasts.
