BROOKHART HOSPITALLER SWORD IP-603 Legacy Arms
Reminiscent of a time when honor, courage and loyalty along with vows, oaths and duty were bound to flesh and enforced in steel. Well balanced, the 33 1/4" high carbon steel blade thrusts easily on foot or from horseback while the fuller lightens the blade for swift cuts while weaving your blade in combat. Counter balanced by the solid round steel pommel, the textured leather handle becomes one with your body and extension of your will. The arched hilt and quillons are classic in design of this type of cruciform sword and appropriate for kneeling in prayer.
This functional Generation 2/Legacy Arms Hospitaller Sword is designed by Bruce Brookhart. It features a pre-sharpened dual edge 5160 high carbon steel blade that has been hand forged and hand tempered. The blade is equipped with a wide fuller that runs two thirds its length, providing quickness and balance while maintaining the necessary stiffness for a devastating cutting stroke. The cross guard and pommel are of blackened steel and accommodates a hardwood handle wrapped in textured black leather.
The Legacy Arms Hospitaller Sword IP-603 includes wood-core scabbard wrapped in black leather with a raised cross on a single side; it is finished with a blackened metal chape. A matching companion Brookhart Hospitaller Dagger (IP-613) is also available and sold separately.
The Knight Hospitallers are the third of the best know Monastic Orders that fought in the Holy Lands. The Cistercian order wore a Black Surcoat with a White Cross centered. Founded as a healing order, they could often fill the position of a battlefield medic. After the ranks of the Knight Tempers were decimated in the Holy Land Battle of Hattin, the Hospitallers stepped in to shore-up Richard the Lionheart's forces during the Third Crusade.
