Espadas del siglo XVI

El siglo XVI supone una época de innovación en el sector armamentístico. Estamos hablando de la época en la que el Renacimiento se encontraba en pleno apogeo en todo el continente europeo. En estos años, imperaba lo estético y bello sobre lo fuerte y, naturalmente, este principio también se aplicó a las espadas del siglo XVI.

En el campo de batalla, se empezó a dar más importancia a la estrategia sobre el valor del soldado. También se aligeraron las armaduras, ya que contaban con menos componentes.

Las hojas de las espadas del siglo XVI contaban con cuatro partes diferenciadas:

La espiga: parte que se adapta a la empuñadura.
El recazo: sucede a la empuñadura y es donde la hoja presenta una anchura y grueso mayor.
El cuerpo.
La punta.

La guarnición está compuesta de:

Pomo: que podía ser redondo, cilíndrico o cuadrado.
La cruz característica desde hace siglos en las espadas europeas.
La guarda y contraguarda, que estaban compuestas por planchas de hierro, que podían ser planas o cóncavas y que estaban posicionadas en sentido perpendicular a la empuñadura. De estas salían otras piezas que rodeaban a la altura del recazo.

Pero, además de este modelo descrito -el más característico de esta época-, los soldados y caballeros usaban otras variaciones. Los modelos empuñados por los primeros eran sencillos y solo incorporaban las guardas. En cuanto a los caballeros, contaban con más guardas para intentar aprisionar el arma del contrincante y así desarmarlo. Además, estas solían incorporar motivos decorativos.

Otros modelos característicos de esta época son el estoque, de mayor longitud, de hoja rígida y ancha, y que se usaba de manera complementaria; y el mandoble, también ancha y recta, pero con punta afilada y filos cortantes que era característica de los soldados alemanes y fue adoptada por los suizos y los españoles posteriormente.

What they say about our swords

Espectacular! They teach and explain to you everything you would like to know about their handmade swords and knifes. Mandatory visit if you go to Toledo.

Javier

I would recommend to go during the week, because if you're lucky, you may get the chance to see the forging and the craftman working. It's a shame these things get lost, because many shops in Toledo sell swords that aren't handmade or anything that resembles it.

Pedro

A luxury attention, they took us inside the forge. If you would like an original sword of Toledo, something real, this is the best place for it. I would advice you to go and look all the wonders they do with steel.
