Oakeshott Type XVIII Swords

Description
This desktop wallpaper features the Henry V Sword as produced by Arms & Armor. It features an Oakeshott Type XVIII blade.

With the advent of the Type XVIII we see the return of the true cut and thrust sword. The increased use of projectile weapons was slowly driving plate armour from the field in this late period. With the return of lighter armours, a less specialized, more versatile sword could be used and the Type XVIII and its subtypes fit the bill admirably. The blade of Type XVIII tapers in gentle curves to an acute point.

You can read about the type in our Type XVIII Spotlight.
