Sword Of Courage

The classic image of the knight with his sword will forever be remembered through artwork, poetry and the tales of heroism. That knight was not only expected to possess the skill and strength for combat but the virtues of mercy, generosity and courage. These codes of chivalry were born from medieval martial traditions that were often involved with training through knighthood. The sword was also a very powerful symbol of the knight as it represented his status given during the initiation ceremony and often symbolized religious beliefs with it’s cruciform guard. But despite the romantic symbolism, the sword was a superb fighting weapon in the hands of a skilled knight.

Hand Forged Blade with Integral Belt

The Sword Of Courage has been hand forged from tempered 5160 spring steel with a wide single fuller for strength. The fuller also makes this sword lighter for the knight and allowed it to be effective with one hand during combat if horse mounted. The cruciform hilt is completed with hand wrapped brown vegetable tanned leather and a disc pommel. The scabbard is also finished with vegetable tanned brown leather over a hardwood core and protective metal chape. The integral belt is partnered with a steel buckle to allow you to wear your Sword of Courage proudly.
