Agincourt Sword (Hanwei / CAS-Iberia) Review — Honouring the Blade of October 25th
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. Its brass-coloured fittings, wire-wrapped grip, and fine craftsmanship capture the essence of late-medieval design while remaining fully functional. In this in-depth review, Wolf Starchild reflects on the sword’s history, handling, and legacy—honouring both the craftsmen who forged it and the timeless courage it represents.
