Custom Short Sword

Custom Short Sword – Hand Forged Blade with Curved Guard & Decorated Scabbard

This Custom Short Sword is a compact yet commanding blade designed for collectors and enthusiasts who value control, balance, and visual presence. The sword features a broad, straight blade with a clean central fuller that improves balance while maintaining strong cutting authority. Its proportions make it ideal for those who prefer a shorter sword that still feels powerful and substantial in hand.

The most striking feature is the curved crossguard, shaped to protect the hand while allowing fluid movement during handling. This guard style draws inspiration from late medieval and transitional sword designs, offering both function and an aggressive visual profile. The blade tapers cleanly to a sharp point, making it suitable for controlled cutting practice and display where permitted.

The full tang handle is crafted from rosewood and secured with visible pins for strength. Its straight profile provides a comfortable and confident grip, while the polished metal pommel completes the sword with a clean, balanced finish.

The scabbard is made with a wooden core wrapped in black leather and finished with bold decorative fittings. A brass chape protects the tip, while the throat features a distinctive red accent plate with vented slots and metal hardware, giving the scabbard a strong historical and ceremonial character.
