Long Description

Delicate but strong rose stems, coated with a dark glossy green enamel, twine about the cruciform hilt of this elegant, slender sword. An open rose blossom, the intricately layered petals formed from gold, sits at the juncture of hilt and blade on each side, and the sharp thorns that dot the quillons are also gleaming gold. The blade is made from the finest pattern-welded steel, the folded and hammered layers of metal resembling the flowing surface of a forest stream. It is of high quality, evidently manufactured by expert hands.

Appraises As

The rose-hilted long sword is about three and a half feet long and a couple of inches wide. It is made of klatchian steel and could be used as a weapon of type sword.
