The image of the Knight and his sword will live forever through the sagas and tales of heroism during the Crusades (1096-1291) and it is easy to see why these swords were highly valued and handed down from generation to generation. Our exclusive heirloom quality Crusaders Sword is a well balanced and striking example of beauty in design! A very swift and well constructed 27" blade is hand forged from high carbon steel and tempered over hot coals, as was done back in the middle ages. The stylish guard is made of hand-cast solid brass as is the beautiful octagon pommel depicting the symbol of God: The Crusaders Cross! The grip is made of polished ebony. Black leather over wood sheath included.
