Replicating a late 15th c. sword with Curator Iason Tzouriadis & Schola Gladiatoria's Matt Easton

A popular type sword among English Knights of the 15th Century, this arming sword bears a strong resemblance to the so called 'Henry V sword' from Westminster Abbey. Curator of European Edged Weapons, Iason Tzouriadis and Schola Gladiatoria's Matt Easton discuss the history of the sword and the process of replicating it with Windlass Steelcrafts.
