Degen Medieval Swords

Step into the world of European martial tradition with our collection of Degen Medieval Swords, hand-forged to honor the craftsmanship and heritage of the late Middle Ages and Renaissance. The term Degen—derived from the German word for "sword"—refers to a class of lightweight, slender blades once wielded by soldiers, nobles, and duelists throughout Central Europe from the 15th to 17th centuries.

Originally used as a military sidearm, the Degen evolved into a personal defense weapon and fencing sword during the Renaissance. With its narrow blade designed for thrusting, it played a vital role in battlefield combat, private duels, and ceremonial dress. The Degen is considered a historical predecessor to modern fencing foils and small swords.

At Everest Forge, each Degen sword is forged by hand in Nepal using high-carbon 5160 spring steel, carefully tempered for strength and flexibility. Whether you're a collector, historical reenactor, martial artist, or simply a lover of European swordcraft, these blades offer a perfect balance of authenticity and functionality.
