Two-Handed

Two-Handed

A two-handed medieval sword is a type of sword that was designed to be wielded with both hands. These swords were typically larger and heavier than one-handed swords, and were used for delivering powerful blows and cuts. They were popular during the late medieval and Renaissance periods, and were often used by knights and other heavily armored warriors.

Two-handed swords typically had a long, straight or slightly curved blade, with a length ranging from around 3 to 4 feet (90 to 120 cm). The blade was usually made of high carbon steel, and was sharpened on both edges. The hilt of the sword was long enough to accommodate both hands, and was often decorated with intricate carvings and inlays. The pommel and guard were also typically larger and more robust than those of one-handed swords, in order to provide better balance and protection.
