Not really for the crusades more a lster period sword like a XVa. The designs has been used in a lot of productions too one most significantly seen in is Ken Follet's Pillars of the Earth mini series. Nice sword but nothing a 12-13th century Templar would be seen using. Be like Wild Bill having a Ak47, lol. |

Ahh I see so my search continues in the greatness of things and I already have a few choices. Besides, I am trying to find the right one. But then the RK Euro Model 13 is one of them, another one already in the chatroom and then a few from India like this: www.ebay.com/itm/163761425845?ul_noapp=true or Windlass. |

Looks interesting, of an earlier type (supposedly designed on a historical find) and since it comes from Kris it might be a compelling consideration. www.kriscutlery.com/european-and-medeival/2874fc8z3ap1ewhn6dxkgh6ecbguokKnow of anybody having experience with it or any general thoughts on it’s design? |

I would like to know the same thing though the only thing I worry about is the shrunken scabbard since I might have to get that replaced if I buy it or get it. |

Sullivan sebastian , I have no personal experience with Kris but they have always had a good reputation from members here. The sword this one is based on is actually another later period sword of the mid 15th century and is classified as a Type XVII in the typology. Kris calls it a Templar sword but it doesn't really fit the time period of the order. Here's a pic of the orginal,

I chose the 13th to 14th century sword which would have been used by the Templars! I really can't wait for it to come in from Balaur Arms! Squee! I am getting it sharpened so I can practice with it within reason.

I love how light it is but sadly it has rust on the pommel. I didn't expect that.

Easy fix thought, get some wetdry paper (250-800 grit) and it will come off easy. I think the rust and stains these come with from time to time is when they're shipped from India the packaging isn't as tight as it should be. |

This looks more in line with my budget. I think I am starting to like the Italian long swords as well.  |
