Sir Ivanhoe Sword – Legend of the Saxon Knight
Exquisite Design and Heraldry
Every inch of this sword is designed to impress, reflecting the grandeur of medieval nobility:
The Guard: The elaborately cast guard features a bronze finish and depicts heraldic lions and mythical beasts in relief. These figures represent the strength and noble lineage Ivanhoe reclaimed through his deeds.
The Pommel Jewel: The centerpiece of the hilt is the massive pommel, set with a striking deep blue faux gemstone that resembles a sapphire. Surrounded by intricate scrollwork, it adds a touch of regal luxury to the weapon.
The Grip: The handle is wrapped in a gold-coloured wire or cord, creating a diamond pattern with small floral accents in the center of each shape. This ensures a secure grip while maintaining a highly decorative appearance.
The Blade: Crafted from high-quality AISI 420 stainless steel, the blade is mirror-polished and features a central fuller (groove) that runs along its length.
Safety Warning: Please note that while this sword is heavy (approx. 4.6 lbs) and solid, it is strictly a decorative item. The stainless steel blade is hardened, making it brittle under impact. It is not suitable for combat, fencing, re-enactment fighting, or striking against other objects. It is intended for display or as a costume prop only.
A Tale of Two Peoples
Ivanhoe's story is one of bridging the divide between Saxons and Normans in 12th-century England. Disinherited by his father and fighting alongside the King, he embodies the ideal knight. This sword captures the spirit of that age, making it a perfect gift for history enthusiasts.
