Decorative Legendary Sword Excalibur King Arthur with Optional Scabbard
Historical Context and 12th/13th-Century Arthurian Swords
While the historical origins of King Arthur trace back to Sub-Roman Britain in the 5th and 6th centuries, the artistic craftsmanship of this display sword references the High Middle Ages and the 12th and 13th centuries. During this era, Arthurian romances flourished across courtly Europe. Reflecting High Medieval sword design, the single-handed arming blade (Oakeshott type Xa/XI) served as a noble's primary emblem of status, Christian faith, and chivalric virtue, its crossguard forming the sacred shape of the cross.
The blade is forged from 440 stainless steel, hardened and tempered to 47–51 HRC, providing a mirror finish and high corrosion resistance. The ricasso area features etched scrollwork, heraldic castles, lions, crowns, and the official Toledo mark. The hilt is cast from antiqued metal alloy in a silver finish. The straight quillons display intricate Celtic knotwork and beast heads, paired with a wire-textured grip for a secure hold. The heavy wheel pommel holds a quartered shield surrounded by the embossed text EXCALIBUR • KING ARTHUR. An optional black scabbard fitted with antiqued mounts showcasing the sword in the stone is available.
Significance of the Name Excalibur
This sword proudly bears the mythical name Excalibur in honor of the magical blade of King Arthur. According to medieval legend, Arthur proved his rightful claim to the throne of Britain by drawing the sword from the anvil and stone set by the wizard Merlin, or received it directly from the Lady of the Lake (Nimue/Viviane). The name Excalibur derives from the Welsh Caledfwlch ("hard-cleaving"). Naming this sword Excalibur pays homage to vision, justice, and the chivalric ideals of the Round Table.

Care Instructions and Safety Guidelines
Important Safety Notice: For safety reasons, this item is strictly a decorative display piece unsuitable for practical combat or drill use (e.g., not for HEMA contact sparring, stage combat, LARP, or cutting/thrusting tests). The 440 stainless steel blade is not engineered for sword-on-sword impacts, and practical fencing risks blade breakage and severe injury!
To preserve its appearance, follow these simple care guidelines:
- Surface Cleaning: Wipe the blade and hilt periodically with a soft, dry microfiber cloth to remove dust and fingerprints.
