Windlass BattleCry Bosworth Longsword
Detta medeltida Bosworth Longsword från Windlass Steelcrafts Battlecry-kollektionen. Designad speciellt för att användas och tillverkad av 1065 kolstål med en mörkare, stridshärdad finish, extra bred tang och härdning till ett lågt 50-tals RC. Detta förslipade blad har genomgått rigorösa tester. Den praktiska tillverkningen av smeder gör denna linje unik. Inkluderar en matchande skida med bältesstopp, anpassad förpackning och äkthetsintyg undertecknat av varje smed som rörde ditt blad genom varje steg i smidesprocessen. Långsvärdet var ett centralt vapen inom försvarsvetenskapen och en oumbärlig del av den ridderliga vapenkonsten i århundraden. Detta svärd är inget undantag. Ett vackert proportionerat vapen med dynamiska hanteringsegenskaper, det är en harmoni av massa och dimension. Med ett långt, halvt avsmalnande diamanttvärsnitt monterat på ett rundt ergonomisk stift med ett dubbelhandsgrepp, är detta ett fint exempel på den perfektion som uppnåddes i denna populära design. Mot alla motsatta vapen eller pansar var den kapabel till snabba dödliga skärningar såväl som exakta och kraftfulla stötar. Passande namn efter det blodiga slaget från 1400-talet under Rosornas krig, är Bosworth ett snabbt och kapabelt krigssvärd som på ett skickligt sätt kan utföra de dödliga "Mastercut"-teknikerna så nära förknippade med dubbelhandsklingor från perioden. Med ett smalt handtag som praktiskt taget ber om att gripas i de olika och effektiva slingrande åtgärder som den här typen av svärd idealiskt tillåter, har den en förvånansvärt liten tyngd för sin storlek. Denna ebenholtsfärgade "vapendrottning" är perfekt lämpad för fotstrid i krig, rättsduell eller riddarutmaning. Detta är ett ansenligt och graciöst vapen som kommer att lämna utövaren all förtroende som den lätt skulle kunna försvara livet om det tillkallas. Upptäck varför denna form av långsvärd respekterades i århundraden. • Total längd: 47-3/8" • Bladlängd: 36" • Bladbredd: 1-5/8" • Vikt: 2 lbs / 14 oz • Balanspunkt: 3,875" under stödet • Stål: 1065 High Carbon • Egg: Slipad Tillverkad av WINDLASS STEELCRAFTS Battlecry-linjen av historiska svärd, dolkar och yxor har designats i samarbete med John Clements, vars kunskap om historiska fäktning och medeltids- och renässansstridsmetoder är oöverträffad. Handsmidda av Windlass Steelcrafts, 1065 högkolstål härdat i datorstyrda ugnar till en RC på låga 50-talet. Detta säkerställer styrka, spänst och kanthållning. Svärd har extra breda tång och alla vapen är slipade. Varje modell har genomgått rigorösa fysiska tester för att överträffa industristandarder. Dessa stridstestade vapen har en stentvättad, svärtad finish. Var och en inspekteras individuellt vid varje steg i tillverkningsprocessen, och först efter att ha godkänts får de pansarstämpeln på bladet. Ett certifikat medföljer varje, undertecknat av hantverkaren som arbetade på ditt blad. Dessutom ingår ett matchande fodral.
Bosworth 1485, E-bok
Bosworth stands alongside Naseby and Hastings as one of the three most iconic battles ever fought on English soil. The action on 22 August 1485 brought to an end the dynastic struggle known as the Wars of the Roses and heralded the dawn of the Tudor dynasty. However, Bosworth was also the most famous lost battlefield in England. Between 2005 and 2010, the techniques of battlefield archaeology were used in a major research programme to locate the site. Bosworth 1485: a battlefield rediscovered is the result. Using data from historical documents, landscape archaeology, metal detecting survey, ballistics and scientific analysis, the volume explores each aspect of the investigation – from the size of the armies, their weaponry, and the battlefield terrain to exciting new evidence of the early use of artillery – in order to identify where and how the fighting took place. Bosworth 1485 provides a fascinating and intricately researched new perspective on the event which, perhaps more than any other, marked the transition between medieval and early modern England.
