Opera Nova Armi Cut and Thrust Sword
This early 16th Century Cut-and-Thrust Sword is based on examples seen in the illustrations of the 1536 Bolognese Fencing Manual Opera Nova. Swords such as this are shown in the manual being commonly paired with a buckler, Rotella or dagger. The blade form is a compromise on cutting and thrusting ability and the dual finger rings allow safe fingering of the guard for both right and left-handed use. \n \nThe blade is high carbon steel which is mounted into a hilt of steel. The wooden grip is tightly bound in twisted steel wire. Included with the sword is a leather-bound wooden scabbard with a steel chape and locket.
