Why is a Bastard Sword called a Bastard Sword? The word bastard comes from the French word “bâtarde”. This word in France used much more liberally. It can also mean - “something irregular, inferior, spurious, unusual” or “of abnormal or irregular shape or size; of unusual make or proportions”. While the Bastard Sword is definitely not inferior, being one of the most popular swords of the middle ages. Its proportions, neither a true two-handed sword, nor a single handed sword leave it as being uncategorised , lending to the name “Bastard”.

This is the flag ship sword from the new brand Zyden.

      SWISS BASTARD SWORD

      Posted by Harry on 3rd Sep 2023

      Very happy with the sword. Good quality, feels well built and solid. The sharpening is done perfectly with arazor sharp edge. I had the option to pick an alternative grip style which was perfect for me. I feel like it makes the sword more agile and quick in the hands.

      Bastard Sword

      Posted by Rick Flett on 31st May 2021

      This sword is awesome. The blade is longer and wider than my other longswords yet it somehow feels lighter. The grip is a little wide and the pommel is a little harsh on the hands, but put some gloves on and it feels fine.

      Excellent craftsmanship, the blade is amazingly balanced, razor sharp and straight. The cross guard and pommel are smooth to the touch which is perfect for handling. The pommel itself is an awesome design feature and a nasty add on (in regards to a pommel strike). The handle wrapping is tight and true, All in all, it was worth every cent.

      awesome sword

      Posted by Doug van Kolck on 15th Oct 2019

      this is my first real sword and definitely noticed how well balanced it is and the feeling that it is an extension of my arm. I love that it has doesn't have a ceremonial/display sword look, it's a working person's sword. Very Happy

      Very nice blade and furniture. Would be greatly improved with more attention to the handle and a true leather binding.
