The Long Sword

The Long Sword, also known as a Germanic or European two-handed sword, is a versatile weapon designed for combat in the Late Middle Ages. It typically features a double-edged blade around 3 to 4 feet long, allowing for both cutting and stabbing maneuvers. The Long Sword is wielded with two hands, providing greater leverage and control, making it effective against armor and in both offensive and defensive techniques. Its balanced design enables precise strikes and effective parries, making it a prominent weapon for skilled fighters, often used in tournament combat and martial training.
