SHOP CASE KNIVESThe Kingston Arms Atrim Type XVII War Sword is a no-nonsense weapon designed with cutting performance and battlefield efficiency in mind. Based on the proven designs of Gus Trim, a name respected by sword enthusiasts and martial artists alike, this war sword blends historical accuracy with modern construction. Built to handle serious use, it’s a weapon made for those who appreciate the art and function of European longswords.
At the heart of the sword is a 32.75-inch blade forged from 9260 spring steel—a material known for its impressive resilience, flexibility, and ability to withstand shock. This type of steel is favored for its ability to return to true even under extreme use, making it ideal for cutting practice, stage combat, or serious training. The satin finish gives it a clean, utilitarian look while helping to resist corrosion.
This Type XVII blade profile is distinctly tapered for thrusting, yet retains enough width at the base for strong cuts and slicing capability. Its performance-driven geometry makes it well-suited for both armored and unarmored combat, just as the originals were used in late medieval Europe. Whether you're training with a pell or taking it to a cutting stand, the Atrim design ensures speed, balance, and control in the hand.
The handle is crafted from wood and wrapped in cord, offering a secure grip and a nod to historical craftsmanship. It’s long enough for two-handed use, providing leverage and control during powerful swings or precise thrusts. The weight, at 51 ounces, gives the sword a solid presence without feeling unwieldy, thanks to its well-tuned balance.
Rounding out the package is a sturdy scabbard for safe storage and transport. Whether displayed in a collection or taken out for practice, the Kingston Arms Atrim War Sword is built to perform and last. Order it today from SMKW!
