SHOP CASE KNIVESThe Szco Antique Hand Forged Shortsword is a rugged and visually striking blade that blends old-world craftsmanship with practical design. Forged from a single piece of carbon steel, this shortsword delivers both durability and historical appeal. Its 12.5-inch upswept blade features a raw, rustic finish that speaks to its hand-forged construction, giving it an authentic, battle-worn character that collectors and enthusiasts alike will appreciate.
The full tang design continues into a curved handle that seamlessly forms an integrated D-guard. This guard not only protects the hand but also reinforces the shortsword’s one-piece strength. Partially wrapped in black leather, the handle provides a secure grip while adding a layer of comfort and visual contrast to the bare steel. This practical detail makes the sword suitable for light handling, theatrical use, or as a centerpiece in a medieval or fantasy-themed collection.
Measuring 22 inches overall and weighing 17.64 ounces, the sword has a balanced presence that feels substantial without being unwieldy. Its compact size makes it ideal for costume use, wall display, or keeping on a desk or shelf as a unique conversation piece. Whether you’re outfitting a cosplay ensemble, staging a display, or just adding to your collection of historical blades, the Szco Antique Shortsword delivers with a commanding, time-worn aesthetic.
The included black leather belt sheath completes the package, offering convenient storage and an authentic finishing touch. The sheath adds to the sword’s display potential while providing a safe way to carry it during events or reenactments. Each piece varies slightly due to the hand-forging process, giving every sword its own distinct look and feel.
With its raw finish, sturdy construction, and eye-catching profile, this shortsword captures the essence of traditional forged steel in a form that’s ready for display, costume, or collection. Order it today from SMKW!
