Scottish claymore sword

Scottish claymore sword

The claymore is a two-handed sword common in Scotland in the 16th and 17th centuries. There are various names and spellings for this sword, most of which are Gaelic: Claidhem-More, Claidhmhichean-mora, Glaymore, claidheamh mòr, which simply means great sword.

It is a long two-handed sword with a double-edged blade and a broad, often V-shaped crossguard, with circular decorations attached to the ends. The earlier claymore swords often had a long leather-wrapped ricasso.

The blade of our Claymore is hand forged from high carbon steel. The sword has the typical Claymore crossguard with cloverleaf decorations. The blade goes through to the end of the handle and is screwed to the pommel there. The wooden handle has a black leather wrapping.

The blade is not sharpened.
