The Great Sword is a long versatile two-handed blade, developed for powerful cuts and thrusts. Typically used to carve paths through lines of pole-arm soldiers and combat throughout the battlefield ranks. The double-edged straight blade featured a flattened ricasso that allowed the swordsman to choke up on the blade for more control, dexterity and maneuverability for close quarters combat. The parrying hooks at the end of the ricasso kept the user’s hand from slipping onto the blade and catching blades or pole-arm shafts.

Designed by CAS founder Barry Ross, the Kingston Arms Great Sword embodies all the attributes a sword aficionado would want in such a piece. At 56 ¼” long and weighing a 5 lbs., our version falls within the parameters found in great swords of the period. The 39 ½” blade has a 5 ½”  double grooved ricasso with 1 5/8” parrying hooks and a 14 1/4" blade fuller. The 16” handle features a 12 ¾” leather wrapped grip for easy handling and carrying over the shoulder. The double ringed, stainless-steel guard and pommel are a matte finish. From tip to tip, the guard is 15” wide with tapering 12.5mm thick quillions. With a balance point of 3” from the guard and a point of harmonics 19” from the tip, our Great Sword is beautifully balanced and highly functional.

Due to the size of the Great Sword, it comes boxed disassembled to reduce the cost of shipping. Simply slide the guard over the tang followed by the fatter end of the grip, and screw on the pommel for an easy assembly.
