✨ Premium Features
🦅 Master-Forged Oakeshott Type XI Profile: Expertly hand-forged with a historically accurate, slender blade that tapers gently to a functional point. It features a narrow, precision-ground fuller extending nearly the full length of the blade, optimized for superior slicing mechanics and exceptional weight distribution.

⚔️ Battle-Ready Full-Tang Construction: Engineered with a robust, through-tang construction peened over the pommel for authentic historical durability. This is a solid, fully functional weapon—not a decorative wall-hanger.

🪵 Artisan Hilt & Single-Handed Grip: Features a traditional, compact wooden core handle wrapped in tightly bound cord and finished with premium textured leather. The grip is perfectly proportioned for single-handed manipulation, allowing for fluid wrist transitions and rapid cuts.

🛡️ Gently Curved Crossguard & Wheel Pommel: Equipped with a classic, elegant steel crossguard providing excellent hand protection, paired with a substantial wheel pommel. This counterbalances the long, slender blade perfectly, pulling the balance point closer to the hilt for a lively, responsive feel in the hand.

💼 Custom Leather Scabbard Included: Paired with a rugged, historically styled wooden-core scabbard wrapped in hand-stitched premium leather, complete with accurate steel fittings designed to protect the slender profile of the blade.
