Maintaining Your Broadsword

Regular Oil Application Prevents Rust

Apply a light coat of mineral oil or a dedicated blade oil to the steel surfaces regularly. This creates a protective barrier against moisture and fingerprints, helping to prevent rust and maintain the blade’s clean appearance over time.

Proper Storage Protects the Blade

Always use the included leather scabbard for storage. It protects the blade from dust and accidental knocks. For display, ensure it’s on a stable stand away from direct sunlight and in a low-humidity environment.

The weight and balance feel great in the hand. It has a solid, substantial presence that makes it a centerpiece in my display. The brushed finish on the blade looks much better in person, very clean and sharp-looking without being too shiny.
