Description
The above photo is of a common historical variant of an estoc with a 9 3/4 inch long Northern European grip. This is two handed and is an early type. The blade can have a length of up to 48 inches. With our longer blades, the pommel is our large 1 3/4 inch diameter 12 ounce ball. Our estoc has a 5/16 inch thick hand forged by 11 3/4 inch long cross guard. The forging is done by Jason Nass, a Forged In Fire finalist blacksmith. The slightly S shaped guard is bent in a plane 90 degrees to the blade, like a more open version of a katzbalger. This hilt is available on our Alchem rectangular rod tang schlager/rapier blade. The photo below shows this hilt mounted on one of our 48 inch rapier blades giving an overall length of 59 1/4 inches.
