Paul Chen Bastard Sword Series: A Symphony of Medieval Craftsmanship and Modern Engineering

Knife Country USA is proud to present the Paul Chen Bastard Sword Series, an exceptional collection that showcases the fusion of traditional craftsmanship and contemporary materials. These swords, known for their formidable size and balanced handling, are designed for enthusiasts of historical weaponry and practitioners of Western martial arts.

The term "bastard sword" harkens back to the late medieval period, referring to a sword that was something of a hybrid between a one-handed arming sword and a two-handed longsword. These swords are versatile on the battlefield, capable of delivering powerful cuts and thrusts with remarkable agility. Paul Chen has meticulously recreated these classic designs with modern metallurgy, offering swords that are not only historically accurate but also fully functional.
