PAUL CHEN 2000 SIR WILLIAM MARSHALL SWORD

Their single-hand Marshall Sword sets (PC2000, PC2001 - Damascus) new standards of quality and authenticity in broadsword construction. The sword is based on an original, now in a British musuem, used by one of England’s finest knights, Sir William Marshall, who served the crown faithfully under Henry II, Richard the Lionheart and Jack Lackland. The single-hand Marshall Sword is available with either a forged high-carbon steel blade (Model PC2000) or a forged - folded Swedish powder steel blade (Model PC2001).

Both blades are identical in handling characteristics and both are tempered to a tough HRC 52. The blade section features a central ridged fuller and full-length distal taper - a tough test for the bladesmith but resulting in a superb combination of speed and strength. The grip is leather wrapped and laced and the guard and pommel are elegant in their functional simplicity.

The scabbard is leather-covered with steel mounts. Truly a sword for the connoisseur.
