Product description
A fine medieval sword by Windlass Steelcraft, based on medieval swords used by the Order of the Knights Templar. The Knights Templar was a medieval order of knights who went to war in the Holy Land. In terms of structure, their order resembled a monastic order. Several famous medieval historical figures were Knights Templars, amongst them Godfrey de Bouillon and Hughes de Payens. Knights Templar swords were decorated with the religious symbols of the Order of the Knights Templar. The Templar cross is depicted on the blade, pommel and cross-guard of this replica sword. The pommel features a coin dedicated to the Templar knight Bohemond II. The cross-guard bears a text on both sides: Christ vincit and Christ regnat — meaning: Christ conquers and Christ rules. This demonstrates the unshakable faith of the Templar knights in Christ and the faith in their mission. The sword has a deep fuller, lending it a notably light weight. The grip is wrapped with brown leather in a cross motif. The sword is supplied complete with a fine medieval scabbard and sword belt, permitting it to be worn around the waist. The scabbard is decorated with Templar seals and Templar crosses. A handsome sword for display on the wall or for reenactment. Once blunted, it is an excellent battle-ready sword for sword fighting and a particularly well-suited training sword for Historical European Martial Arts.
