Our Scottish sword options, Celtic short swords, half sword designs, Scottish cutlasses, and basket-hilt swords provide plenty of options for collectors and reenactors alike.
These swords reflect deep roots in Celtic history and the legacy of fierce fighters from the ancient world.
Symbols of Strength and Power
Claymore refers to large, two-handed swords used in the medieval period and large swords found with a scabbard issued to Scottish troops during later periods, such as the 18th century. Its strength and size made it one of the most prominent weapons wielded by the Scottish clans, becoming a fixture in Celtic society.
Historically, multiple variants of claymores have been discovered, some with intricate pattern welding, which provided greater durability. Whether you’re a collector or a reenactor, these swords carry immense prestige.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are the key differences between a Celtic sword and a Scottish sword?
A Celtic sword was typically shorter and lighter than a Scottish sword, designed for quick, agile combat. On the other hand, a Scottish sword like the claymore was much larger and often designed for two-handed use, giving them a more extended reach and more power in battle.
The designs of each are also distinct, with a Celtic sword often featuring intricate knotwork and symbolism, while a Scottish sword frequently utilizes simpler, more functional designs.
How do I care for my functional Celtic or Scottish sword?
Caring for a functional sword involves regularly cleaning the blade to prevent rust, especially for steel swords. You should oil the blade after each use or periodically if displayed. Avoid touching the blade with your bare hands, as the oils from your skin can cause corrosion. Keep the sword dry for storage to protect it from moisture.
How should I display my decorative Celtic or Scottish sword at home?
For decorative swords, wall mounts or display stands work wonderfully and help showcase the sword’s beauty. Position the sword out of high-traffic areas to prevent potential accidents. Displaying it near historical items or other Celtic or Scottish memorabilia can enhance the overall aesthetic.
