Iberia swords are crafted in much the same way as swords were
made centuries ago, except that the blades are now forged from
high-carbon spring steel, a resource unavailable off-the-shelf
to the smiths of old. The blade finish is far from being polished,
again more closely replicating what the medieval swordsmith
was able to achieve. The grips are carved in wood, often with
a leather or cord wrap to better replicate the originals on
which the designs were based. Fittings are either steel or solid
brass. Leather scabbards are included where shown. These swords
will appeal to the re-enactor who wants a sword with the same
appearance as the original.
The single-hand Scottish Sword is patterned after 15th century
models originating in the west highlands and the western isles.
The wheel pommel, lobed quillons and short langet are typical
of surviving pieces. The hilt has a macassar ebony grip and
solid brass fittings.
