Viktor Berbekucz – Cedric Longsword with 31″ Blade – Brown

The Cedric Longsword by Viktor Berbekucz is a durable medieval-style training sword designed for sport combat, historical reenactment, and stage use. Built with resilience and reliability in mind, this longsword combines a tough spring steel blade with a reinforced hilt assembly capable of standing up to repeated blade contact. With its classic proportions and solid construction, the Cedric Longsword is a practical choice for reenactors, stage fighters, and martial artists seeking a dependable two-handed training weapon inspired by historical European swords. The blade measures 31 1/2 inches and is forged from CRV4 (51CrV4) high carbon spring steel, a material widely appreciated for its durability, flexibility, and resistance to fatigue. Designed specifically for training environments, the blade features thick rebated edges of approximately 2–3 mm and a rounded tip suitable for safe controlled contact. Proper heat treatment gives the blade the ability to flex under stress and return to true, helping it endure the repeated impacts common in reenactment combat and stage choreography while maintaining consistent handling characteristics. The hilt assembly is engineered with strength and stability as key priorities. A sturdy steel crossguard protects the hands while providing a solid transition from blade to grip. The tang passes through the hilt and is firmly peened over the pommel, creating a secure mechanical construction intended to remain tight through extensive use. The 7 inch grip, crafted from wood and wrapped in leather, provides ample space for a comfortable two-handed hold, allowing practitioners to apply leverage for powerful cuts while maintaining control during binds and transitions. Despite its reinforced construction, the Cedric Longsword remains responsive in the hand. The sword weighs 3 lbs 3 oz with a point of balance approximately 4 3/8″ inches from the guard, giving it a lively and controlled feel well suited for extended training sessions. This balance offers a blend of authority in the cut while preserving maneuverability for technique work and stage choreography. Durable, practical, and historically styled, the Cedric Longsword is a reliable option for practitioners who want a robust training sword that captures the character and handling of classic medieval longswords.
