It's pretty rare that a video game actually has realistic weapons, so several of us at Arms and Armor were excited for the release of Kingdom Come Deliverance 2. Having played through a dozen hours or so we can say that this game is much, much more historically accurate in terms of weapons and armor than the vast majority of games out there. Today we take a look at three types of swords that are featured in the game, including a knightly arming sword, a longsword, and a baselard.
Arms and Armor Durer Longsword
As always, our swords and other weapons are entirely made by us, by hand, at our shop in Minneapolis, MN. Sword blades are hand ground of 6150 carbon steel, hardened and tempered to 50-52 Rockwell. Arms & Armor is dedicated to quality and authenticity. For over four decades we have worked with museums, collectors, and scholars to develop a deep understanding of European weapons; knowledge we use to make products that exemplify the finest qualities of the very best historic pieces. When we select historic items to reproduce, being pretty isn't enough, they have to move with grace and beauty, and beg to be used when in the hand. These are pieces that feel as good as they look, and that work as well as they feel.
