The Chipaway Cutlery D-Guard Short Sword with wood handle is a bold, battle-ready fixed blade that blends historical styling with rugged practicality. Designed for collectors, reenactors, and outdoor enthusiasts alike, this short sword is a tribute to classic fighting knives, combining a formidable clip point blade with protective handguard features and a traditional wood grip. As part of the Frost Cutlery family of brands, Chipaway Cutlery continues to deliver hand-finished knives that balance functionality with timeless craftsmanship.
This fixed blade features a powerful 15.25-inch stainless steel clip point blade with a .125-inch thick spine, built to handle tough cutting, chopping, and piercing tasks. The clip point design provides excellent penetration capabilities while maintaining a wide cutting edge for powerful slashes and clean slices. Whether you're using it in the field, for display, or as a part of your historical gear collection, the blade delivers performance you can count on. It also features a fileworked spine, adding a custom touch that enhances grip control while elevating the visual appeal of the blade.
The full tang construction extends into the handle, ensuring the strength and stability needed for a knife of this size. Measuring 22.25 inches overall, this short sword-style knife has a commanding presence without being unwieldy, making it suitable for a wide range of outdoor and tactical applications. Its balance and grip design make it easier to control than a full-length sword while still offering reach, power, and durability.
The handle is crafted from solid wood, shaped for ergonomic comfort and accented with a brass D-guard and a brass end screw that securely anchors the handle in place. The D-guard not only gives the knife a classic military or frontier appearance but also provides essential hand protection during combat-style movements or heavy-duty work. The brass hardware adds a vintage, polished look that complements the dark wood scales, giving the knife a refined yet rugged finish.
To ensure safe and stylish carry, this short sword comes with a brown imitation suede belt sheath, designed to hold the blade securely while maintaining accessibility. The sheath includes a belt loop for convenient wear during travel, display, or outdoor use. Whether you're headed to a reenactment, displaying your collection, or heading into the woods, the sheath adds value and protection to this high-impact tool.
The Chipaway Cutlery D-Guard Short Sword is ideal for collectors of historical weaponry, survivalists, or anyone who values a bold, functional fixed blade with classic roots.
