This authentic sword of German or Swiss descent was used by only the finest of warriors determined to break enemies defensive lines. The flamberge was used to break the heads off of enemy pikes in order to decimate their front lines, creating havoc and chaos. The sword was then used as a thrusting weapon by grappling the ricasso (part of the sword between the blade and hilt) and plunging it into foes.
This gradiose sword is over 62 inches in length, with its serpentine blade measuring approximately 41 inches. Jutting out from each side of the blade are twin horn blades each approximately 3.5 inches long. The black leather handle is sqaure with grip ridges for a sure feel. The chrome hilt measures 16 inches end-to-end. The pommel is chrome in a geometric styling. Just above the blade is a black leather wrap which covers the sword and provides an extra hand hold.
