Light Longsword for Armored Combat

Fast, reliable, and rule-compliant. The Light Longsword for Armored Combat is designed for fighters who want speed without losing durability. By lightening the handle, we brought the sword closer to the lower end of the weight range allowed by the rules. As a result, you get quicker recovery and better endurance during long fights.

Specifications of the Light Longsword

  • Full length: 122 cm (48 in)
  • Blade length: 90 cm (35.4 in)
  • Crossguard length: 18 cm (7.1 in)
  • Weight: 1840 g (4.05 lbs)
  • Balance point: 5 cm (2 in) from the crossguard

Built for Combat

The blade uses the same proven hardened steel design as our heavier longswords. In addition, the handle is wrapped in anti-slip leather, so you always keep a secure grip even in intense clinches. The crossguard follows armored combat regulations and does not extend too far, therefore reducing the risk of the guard slipping into an opponent’s vision area

Speed and Handling

A lighter longsword means faster response. Due to the balanced design, you can recover from strikes quickly and maintain pressure during prolonged exchanges. Moreover, the adjusted balance point keeps the sword stable without feeling sluggish. This makes the weapon an excellent choice for fighters who value both agility and control.

  • Lighter handle for reduced overall weight
  • Durable hardened steel blade for long-term use
  • Anti-slip leather grip for secure handling
  • Crossguard is designed to meet safety standards
  • Balanced build for quick recovery and responsive strikes

Light, fast, and tournament-ready. Add this longsword to your kit and experience the difference in speed and endurance.

Hand-and-Half Swords FAQ


Hand-and-Half Swords

a

Can a hand-and-a-half sword be used with a buckler?

Not in a standard Buhurt International sword and buckler duel. That category requires a Type 1 bladed weapon, while a tournament hand-and-half sword normally falls under Type 2. Fighters should pair a buckler with an approved one-handed sword. Other leagues or training formats may use different rules, so check the event regulations before choosing your equipment.

a

What is the ideal weight and balance point?

Type 2 swords must weigh between 1.7 and 2.3 kg. Many duel fighters prefer a sword near the lower or middle part of this range because it offers faster recovery and better control. However, the ideal weight depends on the fighter’s strength and technique.

A balance point closer to the guard improves maneuverability. A more forward balance adds striking momentum but increases fatigue. Profight and Outrance categories may impose specific balance requirements.

a

Is a hand-and-a-half sword allowed in profight?

Yes, a hand-and-half sword may qualify for profight or Outrance if it meets the relevant technical requirements. The weapon must remain within its Type 2 measurements and pass inspection. Outrance rules also require a minimum balance point of 15 cm from the top of the handle for men’s fights and 10 cm for women’s fights. Always confirm the requirements of the specific league and event.

a

What is the difference between a bastard sword and a longsword?

The terms often overlap. A hand-and-half sword, also called a bastard sword, has an extended grip that supports one-handed or two-handed control. “Longsword” refers to a broader group of long-bladed swords designed primarily for two-handed use. In modern buhurt rules, both commonly fall under the Type 2 bladed weapon category when they meet the required dimensions and weight.

    Exactly what it says. It’s a trimmed down version of the advanced longsword model, which has won me many tournaments. It looks like all the extra weight was trimmed down from the handle and not the tang or the blade, so you do t have to worry about it being any weaker.
