Zweihander Test

Zweihander Test

High-resolution texture of a historically accurate Zweihänder sword. The blade is forged steel: finely honed, straight and gleaming with a slight bluish tint, showing subtle grind marks and faint ripple patterns from repeated sharpening. Edges are razor-thin with a clean bevel, but carry light nicks and hairline scratches from past battles. The ricasso is bare, matte-steel with slight oil-darkening from repeated handling. The parrying hooks (flukes) near the hilt are rugged, with visible wear and tiny dents. The handle is wrapped in aged, dark leather, visibly worn smooth along the grip’s curve, with cracked edges and slight discoloration where hands would rest. Steel crossguard and pommel are darkened and marred with scratches and oxidation spots—evidence of prolonged use. 8K
