C.A.S. Practical broadswords are all based on authentically styled swords, but tailored to meet the needs of re-enactment and stage combat. Popular and affordable, they feature authentic hilt styling, fully tempered un-edged and un-pointed blades, and are designed to withstand rugged use while providing the level of safety required by many of today’s re-enactment societies. The blades are crafted from 1065 high-carbon steel, hardened to 50HRC, which restricts edge-notching to acceptable levels while providing resilience and protection against brittleness. The blades are fullered to provide balance and good handling, and feature 1/16" wide edges and rounded tips for safety. Tangs have radiused corners at the blade shoulders and no welds. The end of the tang is riveted over the pommel eliminating any possibility of inadvertent disassembly.

The Practical Single-Hand Sword is based on the Marshall sword, so named for one of England's finest knights of the latter half of the 12th century.
