The arming sword was a versatile and widely used medieval weapon that emerged in Europe during the early Middle Ages, around the 10th century. Also known as the “knightly sword,” it served as the standard sidearm for knights and men-at-arms across much of medieval Europe.

Characterized by a straight, double-edged blade and single-handed grip, arming swords typically measure between 30 and 33 inches in overall length, though variations existed by region and period. The hilt usually features a simple crossguard for hand protection and a pommel that balances the blade and improves handling. Some swords include decorative engravings or embellishments on the blade and hilt.

Designed for close combat, the arming sword offers a perfect balance of speed, maneuverability, and cutting power. Its blade is capable of both slashing and thrusting attacks, effective against armored and unarmored foes alike. Beyond its battlefield use, the sword symbolized status and knighthood, often bearing heraldic symbols or inscriptions indicating lineage or allegiance.

Meticulously designed and hand-crafted, this English Damascus arming sword is a museum-quality masterpiece. Its attention to detail captures the essence of English medieval craftsmanship, making it more than a weapon—it is a testament to centuries of tradition, patience, dedication, and true love for the craft.
