Deepeeka – Shrewsbury Hand and a Half Sword

The Shrewsbury Sword is a capable and hard-hitting bastard sword with a blade hand forged from C60 high carbon steel – a steel with properties similar to 1060 high carbon steel. The crossguard and pommel are crafted from resilient steel and the wooden grip is tightly bound in quality leather. A robust peen over the pommel anchors the blade tang into the hilt for a solid and robust overall construction. The sword is matched with a wood-core scabbard which is wrapped in high quality vegetable tanned leather to match the grip – a protective steel chape complete the sword.

The sword takes its namesake from the 1403 Battle of Shrewsbury which pitted Henry IV against rival Henry “Hotspur” Percy. Originally powerful supporters of Henry IV who desposed Richard II from the English throne, the Percy’s felt snubbed by Henry for failing to reward them suitably for their support. Allying with the Welsh patriot Owain Glyndŵr and the powerful English noble Emund Mortimer they crafted a joint plan to divide up a conquered England wrested from Henry IV. On 21 July 1403 the Royalist armies met the rebel faction in battle.

The battle initially went well for the Percy’s and their allies, with disciplined archery scything down the Royalist ranks. The Royalists had archers of their own, but the companies in command of the Percy’s were superior and the Royalist army wavered. Seizing what he believed to be an opportunity to kill the King himself, Hotspur led a charge into the Royalists. In the melee Hotspur was killed by an arrow to the face in a moment when had his visor raised and with his death the resolve of the army crumbled, leaving the field to Henry IV and the Royalists. During the battle the Prince of Wales and future King of England, Henry V suffered a grievous wound to the face from an arrow. He was saved from the impressive skill of his physician John Bradmore who invented and improvised a device on the spot to extract the arrowhead from Henry in a tense surgical operation. Though permanently scarred, Henry V survived to become King.

On The Move 

Being an expats, we tend to be moving from one country to the other. You might think it’s fun and exciting to explore other people’s culture, heritage and country. But it can be very depressing and stressful to get the documentation done, find new bunch of friends and good job opportunity. 

For me, being in Cambodia isn’t something I would I say I enjoy. There’s literally nothing much right here. That is why most expats don’t seem to stay here long. For instance… 

William. Gonna miss this bad boy. He’s a fun guy that lights up my day early in the morning with his dad jokes. Really good at twisting his words to make everyone laugh. Making a fool of himself just to make everyone's day. He joined the company in January 2023 and realised that he is in the wrong place as he likes to travel and do lots of great outdoor activities. But sadly right here in this country, it's too hot and not worth time and effort to play a sport outside. Oh well, wish him well.

Another bad boi, Ady will be leaving the nest too. I’m glad to have him as my housemate for two months. He’s someone that I can share things with and someone that can cook really well! Sadly, he got a job offer from Abu Dhabi and I definitely believe he’s looking forward to this job! He has such a munificent person that is always eager to help the community and the people here. So much to learn from him.

And that's him, carrying his pot of curry to Freada's house to feast.

With him, I met other friends from church, Zac and Freada. And we became family. Cooking for one another most of the time.

Gonna miss the time where I forcefully wake myself at 5am just to got for a run with Ady on a Sunday morning!

That's about it! I hope to meet more people throughout my time here! It seems there's more people leaving than entering the country. Haha!
