Description
This arming sword is designed to be light and fast, with a slender, tapering blade and broad central fuller. Based on historical research, the pommel is canted for comfort and control when used by a right-handed wielder. Combined with an adaptive 9cm grip this allows for a full range of historical grip styles, all under the protection of straight, square-section quillons.
Ideal for fast cuts and thrusts, this sword is the perfect tool for pairing with a buckler – yet it also shines in its own right as a single-handed weapon. The balance heavily emphasises the forward pivot point through distal taper and the hollow pommel, so it really shines when the point is used offensively as we see in certain sword and buckler treatises.
It is named for the Green Knight himself, who is referred to as Bertilak in the 14th Century poem Sir Gawain and The Green Knight, and features a striking deep green grip.
