Hand-and-a-Half Leaf Blade Sword – Etched Fuller Edition

A Hand-and-a-Half Leaf Blade Sword Inspired by Ancient Forms

This hand-and-a-half leaf blade sword is a bold fusion of ancient blade geometry and modern, functional craftsmanship. Forged for real handling and cutting performance, it carries the unmistakable presence of a leaf-shaped sword—widening through the belly for authority, then tapering to a decisive point for control. The blade also shows a gentle, pronounced curvature that enhances flow in motion and gives the profile a unique character.

A central fuller runs along the blade and features an etched flower-pattern detail. The etching adds depth and identity without overpowering the sword’s historical feel. Paired with a polished finish and oil-tempered heat treatment, this sword is built to be more than a display piece—strong, responsive, and fully functional.

The hilt is inspired by Bronze Age sword handling—simple, confident, and comfortable in the hand—while using a modern full tang construction for strength and reliability. The rosewood grip provides a secure, natural feel, while the iron guard and pommel keep the design grounded and traditional. A wooden scabbard covered in leather completes the set, including a carry strap and reinforced chappe for practical carry.
