Crusader Knight's Medieval Arming Sword with Christian Cross on the Pommel

There is no soldier more dangerous than one fighting in the name of their faith. The Crusades pitted Christian knights against Muslim warriors, and both sides fought like men whose souls hung in the balance. This Crusader sword is a historical replica of the arming swords used by Knights Templar in those holiest of wars.

If this Crusader sword looks familiar then you were either a Templar knight in a past life, or you have seen our SBA-DOMINUSCRUSADER. The two swords are identical, except that this version does not have the double-fuller design of the DOMINUS. No fullers means a wide-open canvas for engraving--be it text, graphics, logos or decorative patterns.

The Crusader (this sword) is hand-forged from high-carbon steel. It features a full tang and a satisfyingly padded leather grip. Add in the rugged steel guards and you have a powerful sword that is buit to last.

But the true soul of this blade is in the pommel. It's similar to an Oakeshott Type I (for those who follow that sort of thing)and is deeply etched with the Christian cross under which the crusaders lived and died. Eight brass studs for a perimeter around the pommel, adding a touch of contrast and color.

So, whether you want to show other that you are willing to fight for your faith, or you simply want to own a piece of history, then the Crusader Knight's Arming Sword is the way to go. And with the new, fuller-less blade, you are free to create an engraved masterpiece using our online engraving utility.

We offer this sword in three versions, the standard Crusader with a high carbon hand forged blade, the Crusader with the same hand forged blade but which has been tempered(a heat treating process that adds more combat durability to the blade) and a sharpened version of the tempered blade.
