Knight's sword from Vehi Mercatus

Immerse yourself in the world of knights and their honorable swords, where every piece tells a story. A knight was more than just a warrior; he was a symbol of courage, honor and chivalry.

The heyday of knights extended from the 11th to the late 15th century, and during this time swords were not only seen as weapons, but also as works of art.

The swords that knights carried in battle were as varied as the knights themselves. Each sword had its own personality and history.

About the knight's sword

The development of the knight's sword is closely interwoven with the history of Europe. Starting with the Viking swords, which date back to the 10th century, swords continued to evolve to meet the needs and armor of the time. The early knight's swords were primarily designed as slashing weapons against light chain armor, while later models tapered towards the tip and had a rhombic cross-section to pierce heavy plate armor.

A typical knight's sword of the late Middle Ages had a long crossguard, which not only provided protection but also emphasized the cross shape of the sword, which was of particular symbolic importance during the Crusades. The swords were often decorated with names, blessings or symbols embedded in the blade, reflecting the beliefs and values of the wearer.

Making such a sword was an art in itself. Blacksmiths used high-quality steel and refined their techniques over centuries. The heat treatment, polishing and sharpening of the blade were decisive for the quality of the sword. A well-made knight's sword was balanced, robust and sharp - a deadly combination on the battlefield.
