This Sword is fashioned after a Fifteenth
Century Design believed to be inscribed on the monument of Robert de Greenlaw,
who died in 1411. This beautiful sword has a highly polished 33"
high carbon steel blade with strong tang that is peened onto the pommel.
The fuller starts just 1" below the ricasso and runs 3/4 of the length
of the blade. It features a dark hardwood handle and with polished solid
steel pommel and lobed quillons and short langet extending from the quillon
block are typical of this forerunner of the Claymore. The tang is peened
over the pommel. A full top grain leather scabbard is included.

to Sword Index Note .. The construction
of this sword makes it suitable for heavy reenactment use. Also Note..This
sword (and or dagger) comes very sharp. These instruments are NOT toys, their use requires
the training and supervision of a qualified Teacher or Trainer in
sword use or fencing. Their use in ANY
other form (i.e. chopping trees down in the backyard, etc. ;-) can result
in severe injury to the user and to the
instrument, and is not warranted by Imperial Weapons. If you are not
qualified, DO NOT attempt to use these instruments
before securing qualified instruction. Owning an instrument
such as this carries with it a responsibility
to gain the instruction needed to become proficient and qualified in its
use. Users should contact a qualified Trainer
or Teacher or join a fencing club to receive proper training. The
necessary training is NOT available via
books or videos; and no, it is definitely not as easy as it looks. Imperial
Weapons, its employees, nor associated
companies, assume no responsibility for injury, damage, or loss incurred
by use of these instruments. All edged
instruments can be dangerous when handled by ill-trained or
non-trained personnel. We cannot stress
too strongly that, without exception, the user of these instruments must
get the proper training to insure their
own safety and the safety of others.
