SD114 Great Sword – The Colossal Blade of Medieval Warfare
This sword stood as a symbol of battlefield dominance, elite training, and martial authority. In modern times, it represents the legacy of medieval warfare and the heroism of those who bore such weighty arms.
Historical Background of the Great Sword
The Great Sword gained popularity during the 15th and 16th centuries, especially in Germany, Switzerland, and parts of Italy. Its rise coincided with the increasing use of pike formations and polearms. Soldiers who wielded these huge blades—known as Doppelsöldners—were paid double for their courage and skill in breaking enemy lines.
They often led charges, used their massive blades to knock aside pikes, and created openings for troops to advance. While it was a battlefield weapon, the Great Sword also appeared in ceremonial contexts, such as parades, knightly processions, and duels of honor.
Over time, the great sword evolved into a display of status. Only the most disciplined warriors could wield such a large blade effectively.
Distinctive Features of the SD114
The SD114 Great Sword is crafted in the spirit of these legendary blades. It features a long, straight double-edged blade, typically measuring between 40 to 48 inches. This provides excellent reach and slashing power. The fuller, a groove running along the blade, reduces weight without sacrificing strength.
Its extended grip allows two-handed control, essential for managing the sword’s size and swing. The hilt often includes a parrying guard or side rings, useful in deflecting enemy blades. The pommel adds balance and may be disc- or scent-stopper–shaped, common in late medieval designs.
The sword often comes with a leather-wrapped scabbard, enhancing both utility and presentation. Decorative details may be added for ceremonial use, yet the focus remains on historical accuracy and battlefield realism.
A Legacy of Strength and Skill
The Great Sword demanded strength, but also discipline and training. It wasn’t merely a heavy blade—it was a specialized weapon used by elite fighters. Its presence on the field often turned the tide of battle, inspiring troops and intimidating foes.
Today, the SD114 is ideal for reenactors, collectors, or history enthusiasts. Whether displayed proudly or used in mock combat, it echoes the bravery and power of medieval warfare.
SD114 – Honor the Warriors Who Carried Giants
