From Historical Recreations:
Irish Hand and a Half Sword and New companion Dagger
(History Lives)

IP-001 - Irish hand-and-a-half sword. Our Generation 2 design, upgraded to Steel-to-Steel capability.  Dating around 1475 - 1525 A.D.  It features a full tang construction, high carbon blade that is flexible and strong.  High polished steel cross guard and pommel, leather wrapped handle.  This sword is light and quick.  A wood scabbard that is wrapped in leather with steel band at throat and steel tip is included.
-It features the our high quality fit and finish that has been known for all Genertion2 swords.- The picture just above shows the proportions of the sword being held. IP-002 - New the Irish sword companion dagger.  We have been debating and yes even procrastinating, but the majority over-ruled.  So now after much patience (on our customers part) we have created the Irish hand-and-a-half dagger.  This very light piece is made just like our popular sword and will go well with the sword you have.

Note: The blade is 3/16" high carbon spring steel with a full hefty tang.  We tested it on several 2"x4" standing up and split them with no marring on the blade.  We then tested it on a 2"x4" cross ways resting on each side on a solid rest and came straight down.  It did not cut all the way through but it did cut deep and again did not mar the blade or edge.  We then went to the ultimate test Steel-to-SteelSM. We did 9 good blows, it nicked the blade but did not break the blade not break the tang or handle in either of these test. Click here for Close-up of Handle

These instruments are NOT toys, their use requires the training and supervision of a qualified Teacher or Trainer in
 sword use or fencing. Their use in ANY other form (i.e. chopping trees down in the backyard, etc. ;-) can result
 in severe injury to the user and to the instrument, and is not warranted by Imperial Weapons. If you are not
qualified, DO NOT attempt to use these instruments before securing qualified instruction. Owning an instrument
 such as this carries with it a responsibility to gain the instruction needed to become proficient and qualified in its
 use. Users should contact a qualified Trainer or Teacher or join a fencing club to receive proper training. The
 necessary training is NOT available via books or videos; and no, it is definitely not as easy as it looks. Imperial
 Weapons, its employees, nor associated companies, assume no responsibility for injury, damage, or loss incurred
