The Tale of Excalibur, the Sword from the Lake

Make no mistake, this is not the Sword in the Stone! According to Arthurian legends, Excalibur was King Arthur's second, even more powerful sword. After the sword pulled from the stone broke in battle, Merlin led Arthur to a lake, from whose surface an arm emerged holding this magnificent sword. It was given to him by the Lady of the Lake. The scabbard of Excalibur was said to have magical powers – its wearer would lose almost no blood in battle.

Typological Classification

With its straight guard and disc pommel, this replica most closely resembles the classic knightly swords of the High Middle Ages. According to the renowned Oakeshott typology, it could be classified as Type XII, characteristic of the period from the 12th to the 14th centuries, the era in which Arthurian romances are most often set.

Care and Safe Use

The stainless steel blade is low-maintenance; just keep it dry and clean. Occasionally polish the metal parts of the hilt with a soft cloth to maintain their shine.

Important Notice: Although the sword has a sharp point for easily opening letters, this is a decorative replica and a letter opener, not a weapon. It is not designed for combat, cutting, stabbing, or any practical activities other than opening mail. Handle with care and keep out of reach of children.
