•••••
* Oakeshott Type XVII - Characterized by a long, evenly tapering blade, two-handed grip, usually with a wheel pommel. A versatile blade type that was good at both cutting and thrusting, though probably slightly more efficient at the latter, and very effective against armored opponents. Used primarily in the early 14th Century at the height of the Medieval arms race of swords vs armor.
1065 Carbon Steel - With its simple composition, the 1065 is not considered as a super steel. It doesn’t contain high levels of specific elements that make other steel grades more special and expensive. Instead, it’s more of a basic steel that is meant to get the job done without too much fuss. A key characteristic of this metal is the fact that it’s heat treatable. This means that the way it’s tempered will have a huge impact on the quality and performance of its finished product.
