SS Type 2a Schiavona 1 -- [SHARP]
SS Type 2a Schiavona 1 -- [SHARP]
This Schiavona’s design is taken from an antique piece that Bill Grandy very generously lent me so that I could take measurements and make a pattern. Bill has a terrific writeup on his antique HERE, along with a ton of high quality photos.
The guard is produced in blued laser-sintered 316L stainless steel from a 3D scan of one of my own hand-built hilts. The pommel is also stainless steel, with an antiqued bronze finish.
The spiral carved grip is solid PETG covered in white stingray skin and bound with bronze colored wire. The pommel secures with a 6mm recessed hex nut.
It’s mounted with a fullered backsword blade by Armour Class of Scotland. It’s quite lean and flexible, like many period swords of this style.
The scabbard is brown leather over a flexible rubber core with steel fittings.
