Windlass Spiral Guard Landsknecht Katzbalger

The "Landsknecht" was a German/Swiss mercenary company, recognized for its relentless, brutal lifestyle and its ravaging anti-pike and cavalry tactics, courtesy of their considerable Zweihanders. This particular sword is a reproduction of their secondary edged weapon, the Katzbalger, which each mercenary carried. Despite its flamboyant appearance, it remained a formidable weapon for devastating cut and thrust attacks in close-quarter combat.

This Katzbalger replica boasts a triple-fullered blade crafted from robust 1075 high carbon steel, enabling the execution of efficient attacks on cutting practice targets. Its handle is wooden, resting on an authentically designed fluted pommel, and the ornately constructed handguard adopts an "S-closed" shape. Accompanying the sword is a leather sheath adorned with intersecting bands.
