This European espadon-style sword embodies the perfect balance of reach, presence and handling. At 111 cm long with a "hand-and-a-half" grip, it was historically used by knights and duellists either two-handed or, with an adaptable grip, one-handed.

Blade: Forged in 5160 steel, the 81 cm blade combines resilience and flexibility. Its broad 4.8 cm profile is designed to deliver powerful cuts while retaining agility and control.

Guard: The 304 stainless steel straight guard protects the hand effectively while reinforcing the traditional knightly aesthetic.

Scabbard: Made of wood and covered in black faux leather, it offers sturdiness and visual elegance.

Handle: At 20.5 cm, the wooden handle covered in cowhide ensures a secure grip, suited to two-handed use and precise control.

Dimensions: At 111 cm overall with an 81 cm blade, this espadon has proportions faithful to the historical hand-and-a-half swords it follows.

The Croc d'Ombre Espadon is a timeless symbol of medieval martial heritage. It is an outstanding piece for collectors, history enthusiasts and practitioners of HEMA (Historical European Martial Arts).

Buying a sword in the UK

Sold only to adults aged 18 and over. Curved swords with a blade of 50 cm or more are hand-forged using traditional methods, as required by the Criminal Justice Act 1988 (Offensive Weapons) Order as amended in 2008.

Carrying a bladed article in a public place without good reason is an offence. Transport your sword wrapped, and only for a legitimate purpose (dojo, re-enactment, collection). Rules may differ in Scotland.

Care

Wipe the blade after every handling with a soft cloth; never touch it with bare fingers.
Apply a thin film of oil every few weeks to prevent rust.
Store it horizontally in its saya, edge up, away from damp.
Use only on suitable practice targets (rolled tatami mats, bamboo); never strike hard objects.

Absolutely beautiful

Laurent R.

Very beautiful build quality. I find the finish more beautiful than in the photo. The razor sharpening is perfect. Only downside, the scabbard which tends to jam and sometimes makes it difficult to remove the sword. But overall I recommend.
