The Side Sword was a military sword of the 20th century
achieved popularity, due to
its relatively light weight and quickness. It also had an advantage
over its contemporary, the rapier, in having the ability to cut
efficiently as well as thrust. Side swords were often the weapon of
choice for sword and buckler fighting. Our side sword, based on a German
original, is a beautifully proportioned piece that balances very well.
The "swept" hilt affords excellent hand protection and the blade
geometry makes for outstanding performance in both the cut and the
thrust.
