What Makes Our Damascus Battle Arming Sword Stand Out?
Our Damascus Battle Arming Sword pairs a 25 inch Damascus steel blade with a solid bull horn handle, a brass pommel and a cowhide leather sheath.
The arming sword was the everyday sidearm of the medieval knight, and our design keeps its defining features: a straight double edged blade, a cross guard and a one handed grip balanced by a weighted pommel.
A single material grip in dark, polished horn gives the hilt a clean, uniform look that lets the Damascus pattern take centre stage. Collectors who want a two tone handle at the same length can compare the Damascus battle medieval sword with bull horn and camel bone handle.

Where Does the Name “Arming Sword” Come From?
Later medieval writers used the term for the sword a knight wore when fully armed, to set it apart from the larger two handed swords that came into use in the 14th century.
The arming sword itself had already served for centuries as the standard knightly blade, worn at the hip and used in one hand alongside a shield. Today the name covers the whole family of single handed, cross hilted medieval swords.
Why Choose a Bull Horn Handle?
Bull horn is made of keratin, the same material as fingernails, and polishes to a smooth, deep sheen that feels warm in the hand.
Natural streaks and tone variation run through every piece, so no two handles look alike. Horn is also comfortable to hold for long periods, which is why it has been used on knife and sword grips for centuries.
What Sets Damascus Apart?
Damascus starts as layers of high carbon steel forge welded together, then folded and drawn until the billet carries hundreds of layers.
An acid etch after heat treatment darkens one steel more than the other, so the pattern appears along the full blade. Readers weighing Damascus against modern tool steels can find a plain comparison in our guide to D2 vs Damascus steel.
What Do the Brass Pommel and Leather Sheath Add?
The brass pommel sits behind the grip and adds weight to bring the balance point toward the hand, with a golden accent against the dark horn.
The cowhide sheath protects the blade in storage and transport. Leather holds moisture, so long term storage is best with the sword out of the sheath. Arming swords with other handle materials and fittings sit in our handmade sword collection.
How Should the Sword Be Maintained?
Wipe the blade dry after handling and keep a thin coat of mineral oil on the steel, since Damascus contains high carbon steel and will rust if moisture sits on it.
Keep the horn handle away from heaters and direct sunlight, since very dry air can cause fine cracks, and wipe it now and then with a lightly oiled cloth.
Why Choose Our Damascus Battle Arming Sword?
Our sword combines a 25 inch Damascus blade, a polished bull horn handle, a brass pommel and a cowhide leather sheath. It suits collectors, medieval history enthusiasts and anyone building a knightly display.
