Cut and thrust swords used for the hunt were much like those used in war. They were meant for dispatching large game like boar and deer, as well as to provide some protection from the unemployed mercenaries that roved across the countryside of Europe. Nicely shaped steel fittings compliment the tempered steel blade. The grip is part steel, part leather wrapped wood. Leather scabbard with steel fittings included.
