Quartermaster James Posted November 14, 2010 Posted November 14, 2010 This sword was taken from the book "The Era of the American Revolution". These swords varied with the wealth and the taste of those who carried them. This one is designed with two sheaths on the scabbard located just under the sword's clam shell which contain an eating knife and fork. The clam shell prevents loss of the utensils but still allows them to be seen even when the sword is sheathed. All grips are made from polished black horn. The double edged blade is made from fine sword steel and has an 18" fuller centered on its 25" length. The eating knife is shaped like a hunting knife with its 5&1/2" blade and could be used as such. All hardware is brass. Because of the eating utensils, this sword does not fit into a standard baldric. Custom baldric is of black leather and has over twelve inches of additional adjustment to accommodate a larger frame than mine (or it can just be trimmed, to suit the new owner’s taste). $325, includes shipping within continental United States.

Laura Coughlin Posted November 14, 2010 Posted November 14, 2010 What company made the blade? Is this a show-piece, or can it stand up to combat?
Quartermaster James Posted November 14, 2010 Author Posted November 14, 2010 What company made the blade? Is this a show-piece, or can it stand up to combat? Currently, the edge is not sharpened, but it is not intended for stage combat. Not for any defect of construction, it is simply not a stage combat piece. It is a fully functional hunting sword, and sharpened would be quite serviceable in the field. I do not know exactly from whom the maker sourced the blade.
Quartermaster James Posted November 14, 2010 Author Posted November 14, 2010 I should also mention that the eating knife has been edged.
LadyBarbossa Posted November 14, 2010 Posted November 14, 2010 Hmmm... tempting. Very tempting. I love the fork and knife that goes with it. Alas, it's not the type of sword I be needing.
