(paraphrased from Google) The Naue II sword (also known as the Griffzungenschwert or "grip-tongue sword") is one of the most widespread and long-lasting sword designs of the late prehistoric era, spanning roughly seven centuries from the 13th century BC to the 6th century BC.

700 years is a long time for tech in warfare. It was a very successful design and needs representation in the printing world. 

I got interested in swords from Ancient Greece after watching Percy Jackson and the Lightening Thief. I tried to recreate this one as accurately as possible. This sword is 24-3/4" (629mm) long overall. The maximum length of any part (excluding wooden dowel) is 175mm, easily printable by even a Mini. It has been designed to use little 10mm bits of filament to guide the assembly process so the parts line up. 

If you plan on swinging it around, you'll want a 5/16" (8mm) wooden dowel 19-1/4" (490mm) long to run from pommel to the BladeTip piece. This GREATLY enhances the durability. It has blunt edges and a blunt tip for safety.

In the spirit of innovation and fun, this design is presented without cost or license restriction.
