The Landsknecht Katzbalger Sword forged by Windlass Steelcrafts.
Criss cross leather bands decorative the hand stitched scabbard.
The black leather scabbard is mildly decorated with leather bands that criss-cross and are knotted near the throat and has a unique steel tip.
The fluting in the pommel extends seamlessly into the wood grip, and the guard is expertly spiral twisted and terminates in half-spheres.
The beautifully rendered grip would do any Landskecht proud.
Carried by all Landsknecht troops, including the pikemen and arquebusiers, this sword had an ornate "closed s" shaped guard and an extra long, fluted pommel.
The blade is distal tapered (.160" at the guard and .1315" at the tip) which helps keep the sword's weight to only 2.4 lbs.
Not as fancy as its slightly frivolous looking (but nonetheless deadly) big brother, the Katzbalger (roughly translates to "cat-gutter") was still highly styled and was designed to be an effective cut and thrust sword.
After using the Flamberge to break an enemy's row of front-line pikemen, a smaller, one-hand sword was employed- the Katzbalger.
