Scottish Claymore, Two-Handed Sword, 16th Century, Without Scabbard

The strength of the highland clans

The Scottish claymore , whose name derives from the Gaelic claidheamh-mòr ('great sword'), is a symbol of the skill and honor of Scottish clan warriors. During border conflicts with the English crown between the 15th and 17th centuries, these double-edged longswords proved to be powerful weapons, capable of delivering devastating and precise blows. Their elegant yet functional design distinguishes them as one of the last great infantry swords of Scotland.

Historical and economic replica

Our reconstruction is inspired by originals held in the National Museum of Scotland and the British Museum .

The onion-shaped pommel is steel, while the stained and polished wooden handle ensures a firm grip. The 29cm steel crossguard is block-formed with central extensions and arms terminating in quatrefoil ornamentation.
