The Knight’s Templar Arming Sword is a type of medieval weapon associated with the famous military order, the Knights Templar, which was active from the 12th to early 14th centuries. The term "arming sword" refers to the typical knightly sword of the High Middle Ages — a straight, double-edged, single-handed sword used in combination with a shield or buckler.
Historical Context Used during the Crusades (primarily the 12th and 13th centuries). Wielded by knights and men-at-arms, often alongside a kite or heater shield. As members of a religious-military order, the Templars' weapons were often blessed and treated with spiritual significance.
This Templar Sword has a blade of high carbon steel; the hilt is steel with a wooden grip overlaid in leather. The inset cross on both sides of the pommel is finished with an enamel filler. The wood-core scabbard is bound in leather and completed with steel fittings and hanging rings.
