The devastating weapon of elite Landsknechts — equal parts brutal battlefield instrument and a historical rarity.

This formidable Zweihänder represents an exceptionally rare and unique subtype of the Renaissance double-handed sword, blending the massive scale of a greatsword with the iconic S-shaped Katzbalger guard. Popularized in the Germanic lands during the early 16th century, these swords are frequently depicted in period artwork by masters like Urs Graf and Hans Burgkmair, though only a handful of original museum pieces survive today.

Based on authentic historical references, this model features a broad, double-edged thrusting and cleaving blade with characteristic triple fullers, a short robust ricasso with proof marks, a hand-crafted twisted wire 8-shaped guard, and a distinctive fluted onion pommel.
