The term Bastard undoubtedly comes from the fact that the sword, because of its design, has no legitimate claim to being classified as either a uniquely single-handed or two-handed weapon. It was developed for the use of the foot soldier and had became quite common by the early 1500’s. The Paul Chen Bastard Sword made at Hanwei is finished in an antique patina, making for an outstandingly authentic appearance. The scabbard features a patinated steel chape and tip. Point of Balance: 5.5" Point of Harmonics: 25" Width at Guard: 1.94" Width at Tip: .95" Thickness at Guard: .22" Thickness at Tip: .16"
