Crusader Sword with Octagonal Pommel – The Spirit of the 13th Century Crusaders

In the era of the Crusades, when faith and courage guided the battles for the Holy Land, swords emerged that reflected not only the skill of the warrior but also the identity of the orders that wielded them. This Crusader sword with an octagonal pommel is a faithful tribute to that era of glory and devotion, a work that honors tradition and its function in combat.

Hand Forged, Bearer of History

Every detail of this sword is handcrafted, from the elegant iron crossguard to the unique octagonal pommel that distinguishes this piece from the more common round-disc swords. The blade is forged from EN45 spring steel, hardened to approximately 48 HRC, ensuring a perfect combination of hardness and flexibility. Its 79 cm length, with a pronounced groove, gives it lightness and elasticity, ideal for combat prowess. The edge is unsharpened, designed for safety and use in practice or exhibition.

Functional and Aesthetic Design

The handle, wrapped in a leather strap, ensures a firm and secure grip. The blade extends to the pommel, where it is hand-riveted with precision and tradition. The iron cross, simple and strong, offers protection and balance to the wearer.

Wood and Leather Case, Honor Accessory

The sword comes with a sturdy scabbard, crafted from wood and covered in genuine leather. This scabbard features a wooden support that doubles as a belt loop, adaptable to belts up to 5 cm wide, and a steel plate that adds protection and detail. This piece complements the sword with functionality and historical style.
