The peen block serves a practical purpose, providing additional length to the tang. This design feature allows for easier disassembly or future modifications to the sword, ensuring longevity and adaptability.

The blade has a cross-section with a fuller that terminates two-thirds of the blade’s length. The sword is categorized as Type XIV, due to its relatively short blade, which features a stout and wide profile tapering to a strong, thrusting point.

The original sword that this replica is based on resides in the French Army Museum in Paris (Musée de l'Armée) and was crafted in Western Europe between 1300 and 1350, during a transitional period in medieval warfare when mail armor was still dominant but was gradually being reinforced by additional plates.
