Legendary Irish hero Fergus of Ulster, Slayer of Sinach, wielded a fearsome "lightning sword" known as Caladbolg. No one really knows what this sword looked like, but we're betting it was similar to this classy celtic two-hander.

At a towering 52" long, this is a weapon that can both intimidate and impress friends and enemies. The most notable feature of this sword (other than the massive 42" blade, that is) is the polished-steel Celtic ring pommel at the base of the grip. The unusual pommel lends a bit of refinement and artistic sensitivity to this fierce looking weapon. A portion of the sword's tang passes through this ring, and is visible through the center of the circle. This type of artistry is typical (if a little advanced) for the Celts, who used organic shapes and themes in their craftsmanship.

The blade on this monster is a towering 42", which puts it in the Battle-Sword/Holy-Crap-That's-Big category. It's made from Strongblade's polished, high-carbon steel and features a unique triple-fuller design. These three fullers would have given the blade extra strength and a tiny bit less weight.

The elongated grip on this irish two-hander is made from rugged hardwood wrapped with double-stitched leather. The grip tapers slightly near the pommel, where the celtic circle joins it. The guards are made of polished steel, and jut straight outward from the grip, with no curve to them, as is common with many swords of this size. Not so common are the organic spheres just inside of the flared tips at the end of the guards. These spheres reinforce the circular celtic theme of the ringed pommel.

Caladhcholg comes with a steel-accented, custom-fitted sheath of leather-wrapped wood. Huge muscles and battle-rage not included. Strongblade does not recommend trying to slay giant, maurauding killer water dragons with this weapon.

Although the term rapier has become synonymous with any narrow-bladed sword (particularly those with fancy hilts), the term rapier actually applied to only a select few types of swords. Rapiers were narrow (usually one and a quarter inches wide), quite long, fairly heavy, and usually had only a slight edge on them. The extremely long length of the rapiers made them a bit heavy and cumbersome, not at all the Errol Flynn or Zorro-type small-swords that most people think of.
