Functional Swords
(Battle Ready) Hand Forged Carbon Steel Swords
Functional swords or "battle ready" swords will generally have tempered high carbon steel blades, unless otherwise stated in the description. Functional swords are authentic swords and have properly proportioned tangs to withstand the rigors and historical accuracy of re-enactment. Reliks provides functional battle ready swords by many manufacturers including Windlass Steelcrafts, CAS Iberia and Hanwei.
