The bastard sword is a medieval weapon designed to bridge the gap between one- and two-handed swords. This blade allowed for a more versatile fighting experience, allowing for its user to adapt to different fighting situations, whether the longer reach of a two-handed sword was required or the quicker, more precise movements of a one-handed sword were required. The name “bastard” refers to its dual nature.

This sword is sourced from the Red Dragon Armoury and is made from tempered EN42J spring steel and can be used for sparring and other practiced fighting.
