| Seax knife (401022) |
Points: 11
|
The seax, or sax, was universal in Northern Europe. Carried and used by the Saxons, Angles, Vikings and German tribes, its use probably dated before the fall of Rome and continued on into the early Middle Ages. From small knives with 3-4 inch blades to actual swords with blades of 27-28 inches and always single-edged, the profile of the seax varied a great deal. The original version of this large knife served from camp work to cutting work, on shipboard, and for fighting if a sword or axe was not available. The lobed pommel and guard are brass, and the wood grip is studded with brass tacks, for a very secure and comfortable grip. The blade is etched on both sides, flat ground, and capable of taking and holding a razor sharp edge. Leather sheath riveted and laced like the originals, has two thong slots. The remnants of this Seax can be seen in the British Museum. Made by Windlass Steelcrafts®.

| Shogun Ryū Tatsu Katana Windlass (501874) |
Points: 12
|
The blade is forged from 1095 high carbon steel and undergoes differential clay tempering using traditional techniques. This results in a spine with a Rockwell hardness of 45-48 HRC and a harder cutting edge at 56-58 HRC. This ancient tempering method creates the distinctive hamon, the visible temper line left when the clay is removed. Each blade is meticulously honed and must cleanly slice through a sheet of paper before leaving the workshop.

| Spiculus Gladius Windlass (501782) |
Points: 10
|
We've designed this gladius to be true to the period, yet worthy of a champion (of course, a plain gladius was the sword carried by all rank-and-file legionnaires). The high-carbon steel blade is extra-long – 24 inches – for extended reach in the critical moments of mortal combat. Despite its added length, this sword still weighs under 2 lbs and feels light and exceptionally lively in the hand.

| Windlass Classic Medieval Sword (500020s) |
Points: 16
|
Sword is an Oakeshott Type X with a Type I pommel and a Type VII crossguard. The long and wide fuller on this blade lightens the overall sword and make it possible to deliver fast and shearing cuts, capable of cutting through the mail and padding that were worn during the period. The long guard offers good protection from an opponent's shield or blade, while the classic wheel pommel brings the sword very nicely into balance. This type of sword was in service for a long period of time throughout all of Europe. Made by Windlass Steelcrafts.

Points: 10
