Legacy Arms / Generation 2 (also known as Gen 2 or Gen2) battle-ready swords are made of 3/16" high carbon spring steel with a full hefty tang. The pommels and cross guards of Gen 2 swords are made from polished solid steel or brass. All the Gen2 swords (medieval and katanas)and knives are made from virgin 5160 or 1060 carbon steel. The tangs are a continuation of the blade that runs completely through the handle (full tang).

For many years sword manufacturers have been producing swords “loosely” based on historical swords. Generation 2 has made a concerted effort to change that mentality and has become the forerunner in re-creating swords that actually existed in the past. The new Generation 2 Swords are replicas of actual museum pieces with the same characteristics; strong tangs and sharp hand forged tempered blades. Now all of the Gen 2 Swords have penned pommels (the tang runs through the pommel and is pounded flat). Be sure you are getting a historically accurate sword by looking for the “History Lives” designator!

Please Note: Our Generation 2 swords are covered under a one year limited warranty against breaking under intended sword use (Practice cutting against reasonable objects and blade on blade contact). A sword no matter how well it is made will receive nicks in the edge if hit edge to edge with another sword.
