A Minstrel’s Song
“My armor is like tenfold shields, my teeth are swords, my claws spears, the shock of my tail a thunderbolt, my wings a hurricane, and my breath death!”
– Smaug, from J.R.R. Tolkien’s the Hobbit
Draco is our interpretation of the wonderful type XIV sword preserved in Deutsches Solingen Klingenmuseum. An accurate study was made for the 2015 exhibition “Sword – Form and Thought” and in 2018 we had the chance to analyse the sword in person thanks to the museum curator, Dr. Sixt Wetzler and the museum dIrector Dr. Isabel Immel. Becaus of its length and dynamics it’s very functional both in cut and thrust. We tried to preserve the authentic forms and balancing, even if the blade is blunt as usual, and the customer asked for a shorter grip. Draco is especially devised for I.33 sword & buckler practice.
