DescriptionThe Svante Nilsson Sture Sword 03.jpg |
The Svante Nilsson Sture Sword Albion is proud to finally be able to offer a faithful recreation of an historical sword named after its owner, Swedish Viceroy and knight, Svante Nilsson Sture. The sword made in the workshops of Albion is a direct result of a project Peter completed as his degree thesis. Peter set out to forge an exact reconstruction that was to be the basis of a published study of the original. The knowledge gained during this project is now resulting in a faithful and highly realistic reconstruction made by the skilled artisans of Albion. No effort is spared to make these swords true to the original, not only in dimensions but also in performance and aesthetic details. The blade is 1075 steel, hand-ground and finished to a high satin finish. The broad edges are deeply hollow-ground. Each blade is individually heat treated by hand for maximum flexibility and cutting performance. The wooden core of the grip is bound with cord and covered with leather, with a hand-made tooled leather chappe (rainguard). The "S" shaped cross with its gently flaring ends and the fluted pommel are both investment cast from waxes hand-carved by Peter Johnsson, and hand-finished and mounted to fit the individual blade. Only a limited number of these swords can be made in the course of a year. Swords will be shipped as they are completed, in the order in which they are reserved. |
