Short, heavy in the hand for its size, and from Kàlid's Historik Templar line. The blade is wood, painted black with a fuller running down the centre; the crossguard and pommel are left as bare timber and carry a small stamped roundel where the guard meets the grip.

The grip itself is wrapped in a dark synthetic leather, which is what stops a wooden handle from turning slippery halfway through a siege. At 40 cm it sits at the belt rather than over the shoulder. Carry it on the belt with our brown leather sword ring, sold separately.

Kalidinteriors makes them by hand in Vic, outside Barcelona.
