A Schacht weaving sword has two uses. First, you use it as a pick up stick to open the shed. Then you use its beveled edge to pack down the weft. The swords are made of maple with an oil finish. The tip angles to a point for easy picking of warp threads. The 1 3/4" sword width creates a shed generous enough to allow passage of a slim boat shuttle.The swords come in three sizes:
16" long; 1 3/4" wide; 1/4" thick
22" long; 1 3/4" wide; 1/4" thick
30" long; 1 3/4" wide; 1/4" thick
