The Hanwei / CAS-Iberia Agincourt Sword stands as a faithful tribute to the blades carried by English knights at the Battle of Agincourt on October 25, 1415. Forged from high-carbon steel by master smith Paul Chen, this elegant, thrust-optimized sword blends balance, precision, and beauty in a way few modern reproductions can match.
