You would most likely be attacked within a room. The popularity of the katana marked a shift towards close combat. Throughout its history, the Katana varied in length but on average its length was shorter than the Uchigatana. Being easier to unsheathe, it became widely used between 13.
As a result, the Uchigatana was worn with its cutting-edge facing up. The curve was also moved to the striking tip of the sword. Unlike its predecessor, the Uchigatana was shorter and had a smaller curvature. Next in line is the descendant of the Tachi and predecessor of the Katana, the Uchigatana. So, a samurai who used a Tachi would always wear it with its blade facing down. Our one-handed stage combat sword has a riveted wheel pommel typical of swords that were made between the 10th and 15th centuries, but the curved crossguard places it firmly in the 14th/15th century. This one-handed stage combat sword includes a scabbard made of genuine leather with a mount and chape.Īll sizes are approximate and may vary from piece to piece.This sword would be longer than all its successors, perhaps due in part to horseback battles.īecause of how it was forged, unsheathing the Tachi from its scabbard was significantly easier and swifter if the sword was worn with its cutting-edge facing down. The grip is ridged in three places and is wrapped in genuine leather for increased control and comfort. The thick blade of our one-handed stage combat sword makes it somewhat more top-heavy than a comparable battle-ready sword would be. In order to minimize the risk of injury from cuts and thrusts during stage combat with swords, this one-handed stage combat sword has back edges that are at least 3.5 mm thick everywhere and it even has a rounded point. Stage combat swords have to meet different requirements than battle-ready swords do. Material: High Carbon Steel Blade, Leather GripĪll dimensions are approximate and may vary from piece to piece. If you are part of a re-enactment group we recommend consulting your safety officer for guidance before purchase. The leather wrapped wooden scabbard features a protective rain guard and metal chape. The steel hilt fittings neatly sandwich the leather wrapped wooden grip and are held in place by a traditional peened tang.
Indeed a lot of time and effort has gone into make these blades as agile as possible whilst retaining a re-enactment safe edge. The blades are formed from tempered high-carbon steel and fullered to ensure they are swift in the hand. These latest additions to the Red Dragon Combat Range feature 3mm re-enactment safe edges and rounded tips. This makes these swords exceptional value for money! We have reduced these swords by a massive 25% to reflect this. This will happen to most re-enactment swords over time and is easily fixed with a little epoxy, fishing wire or shims. As such the grips/guards can loosen quite quickly when the swords are first used. PLEASE NOTE: We have noticed that the wooden grips of the swords in this batch have contracted slightly during shipping.
