Wakefield Hanger or Falchion, From Tod Cutler!

The Wakefield Hanger, a short sword for the common English soldier of the War of the Roses.
Available from Tod Cutler in the UK, a fine example of a fairly famous sword, a surviving example of which is held in the Royal Armories in Leeds.
Tod's version has the knuckle bow; I think his interpretation of the knuckle bow is both attractive and reasonable in size and historical relevance.
This is one of several medieval swords Tod has added to his affordable offerings, at Tod Cutler.

Beautiful sword!

Thank you, Tod does excellent work!

a transitional design between the medieval falchion and the basket hilted backsword later in history

[@paulmears5330]

Very much so. A not-so-missing link, as it were😉

[@inregionecaecorum]

There are historical examples with the knuckle bow, I do not like the version Matt Easton has gone for at all, there were others to chose from. Nice sword BTW I have got one with the matching dagger.

[@paulmears5330]

Those matching daggers look amazing. I have a Scottish Dirk from Tod, with a green sheath to match my hanger. Kinda selling it as a Borderer duo/pairing 😉

Hi, where did you get the outfit? Is there a maker or you made it yourself?
