Pierced Hilt Sidesword & Dagger [HEMA]
Pierced Hilt Sidesword & Dagger [HEMA]
This pair is my own design, with pierced side rings and quillion-tips. The sidesword’s form is simple with stacked side rings and a single bar counterguard. The dagger has straight quillions and a side ring. The sidesword is mounted with a 35” Malleus Martialis’ Early Sidesword Blade. The dagger sports a 14” Arms & Armor HEMA blade.
The hilts are steel. The sidesword pommel is threaded 5/16-18, the dagger 6mm. Grips are PETG wound with red leather lace and steel wire.
The sword is 41" overall with a 35" blade. It weighs 2.4 lbs and balances about 3.5" in front of the quillion block. The dagger is 20” overall with a 14” blade. It weighs 1 lb and balances 1” behind the guard.
The scabbards are red leather over a flexible core with steel and nickel silver fittings.
