Ever since, the sword of Solomon has stood not for violence but for wisdom, justice, and discernment — which is why it remains one of history's most meaningful swords to display.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Star of David medallion set into the pommel completes the story, marking the sword with the emblem tradition associates with Solomon's father and the royal house of Israel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eA Royal Hilt\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEvery surface of the hilt carries ornament.

Keep the sword in a dry environment and inspect it periodically for surface corrosion. Use the leather sheath for transport and display, but store the oiled blade outside it long-term, as leather retains moisture against carbon steel. The gold-tone and silver-tone fittings need only a soft dry cloth — avoid abrasive polishes. Because the edge is sharpened, handle the blade with care and store it out of reach of children.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho was King Solomon?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSolomon was the third king of Israel, son of King David, who reigned in the 10th century B.C.E. Tradition credits him with building the First Temple in Jerusalem, authoring books of biblical wisdom, and possessing judgment so famous that \"the wisdom of Solomon\" remains a byword three thousand years later.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat does the sword of Solomon symbolize?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJustice and discernment. In the famous Judgment of Solomon, the king ordered a disputed infant divided by the sword — a command designed never to be carried out, which revealed the child's true mother when she gave up her claim to save it. The sword became the emblem of wisdom that cuts to the truth, making it one of the most meaningful swords a collector can display.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs this a replica of a real historical sword?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo sword of Solomon survives — if one existed, it was lost millennia ago. This is a ceremonial interpretation in the tradition of the great presentation swords: a real, sharpened 1095 steel blade dressed with the royal iconography the legend calls for, including the Star of David pommel medallion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs this sword sharpened?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. The blade ships with a sharpened, double-edged cutting edge backed by a full heat treatment of the 1095 high-carbon steel. Handle it accordingly, and use the included leather sheath for transport.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs 1095 steel stainless?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo — 1095 is a high-carbon steel prized for hardness and edge retention, but it will rust if neglected. Wipe the blade after handling and keep a light coat of oil on it, and it will hold its polish indefinitely.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat occasions is this sword suited to?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnywhere its symbolism speaks: it's a distinctive centerpiece for collectors of biblical and Judaica-themed pieces, a memorable gift for judges, attorneys, clergy, and graduates, and a commanding display sword for any wall that could use three thousand years of story.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Battling Blades","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":37405757636780,"sku":"1000000422","price":239.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2234\/4067\/files\/1000000422-5-white-Dpne.jpg?v=1787172241"},{"product_id":"viking-door-handle","title":"Viking Door Handle- Iron Door Handle","description":"\u003cp\u003eIron welded, handmade door handle.  Put a vintage style, iron Viking style door handle on your door.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDimensions:  \u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e8.5 inch height and 3.5 inch wide\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Battling Blades","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39280285614252,"sku":"6000006457","price":94.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2234\/4067\/products\/DSC05676.jpg?v=1682104487"},{"product_id":"viking-short-sword-sword-high-carbon-1095-steel-sword-17-5","title":"Viking Short Sword Sword- High Carbon 1095 Steel Sword- 17.5\"","description":"\u003ch2 data-start=\"109\" data-end=\"170\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"109\" data-end=\"170\"\u003eViking Short Sword – 17.5” | High Carbon 1095 Steel Blade\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"172\" data-end=\"667\" class=\"\"\u003eSteeped in the legacy of Norse warriors, this 17.5-inch Viking Short Sword is inspired by the legendary weapons of the Viking Age.

This allowed crusaders to wear the helmet in and out of battle with greater comfort, increasing protection through dangerous regions in their journey.

With a carbon footprint of .95%, 1095 steel outpaces other high-carbon variants like the 1045 steel. It's lauded for its sharpness retention and its almost unparalleled hardness, typically hovering around a Rockwell Hardness of 56-58 HRC.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHowever, like many great things, 1095 steel isn't without its quirks. Its sheer strength comes at the cost of flexibility. In the fierce arena of battle, or even modern-day activities, an axe or sword's flexibility can mean the difference between triumph and a shattered blade. Enter the age-old technique of clay tempering. By applying a generous layer of clay over specific areas of the blade (leaving the edge exposed), the steel undergoes differential hardening during the quenching process. The outcome? A razor-sharp edge that retains its toughness, and a blade body that wields the flexibility of legends.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecifications of the Axe\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHandle Construction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Crafted from the finest wood, ensuring a comfortable and secure grip.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTotal Span\u003c\/strong\u003e: A commanding presence at 21\".\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAxe Head Dimensions\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5\", shaped meticulously for both aesthetics and efficiency.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHardness Quotient\u003c\/strong\u003e: A sturdy Rockwell Hardness of 56-58 HRC.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProtective Sheath\u003c\/strong\u003e: Comes with a genuine leather sheath, safeguarding the blade and adding a touch of sophistication.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBlade Constituent\u003c\/strong\u003e: Premium 1095 Steel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStep into the legacy of the Vikings with this Bearded Axe – 21\" of pure, handcrafted excellence, showcasing the iconic high carbon 1095 steel blade.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Battling Blades","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42720093438124,"sku":"3000002021","price":199.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2234\/4067\/files\/DSC0989.jpg?v=1693585501"},{"product_id":"viking-sword-bundle","title":"Viking Sword Bundle-  Five Viking Swords and More","description":"\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ePremium Viking Sword Collection with Maintenance Essentials\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eStep into the annals of Nordic legend with our exquisite range of Viking swords.

The sword in the stone proved Arthur's right to the throne; Excalibur came later, given by the Lady of the Lake after the first sword broke, and returned to her hand at Arthur's end.

Unlike the double-edged swords favored by wealthier warriors, the seax was often a more practical weapon, doubling as a tool for hunting, cutting, and survival. Shorter seaxes were carried as everyday blades, while larger versions, like the langseax, were wielded in battle, delivering powerful cleaving strikes. Historical accounts suggest that the langseax was used by foot soldiers and raiders who relied on its ability to cut through armor and shields with sheer force. While most traditional seaxes ranged from 12 to 35 inches, some Norse and Germanic warriors carried long seax-like blades, blurring the line between knife and sword. This great seax represents an imagined evolution of that battlefield weapon, forged for war chiefs and berserkers who required reach, power, and the ability to strike fear into their enemies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-end=\"1410\" data-start=\"1380\"\u003eForged in Damascus Steel\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1892\" data-start=\"1411\"\u003eThe blade is expertly crafted from hand-forged Damascus steel, a technique that produces a distinctive wave-like pattern while enhancing the sword’s strength and resilience.

Avoid abrasive cleaners, which can flatten the etched pattern and dull the gold-toned fittings. The wood scabbard needs only a dry cloth — and unlike leather, it doesn't hold moisture against the blade. Because the edge is sharpened, handle the sword with care and store it out of reach of children.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs Excalibur a real sword?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo original exists — Excalibur belongs to legend, appearing in Arthurian tales from Geoffrey of Monmouth's 12th-century histories through Malory's Le Morte d'Arthur. That's precisely why every Excalibur is an interpretation, and why we built ours the way legends deserve: real Damascus steel, fully heat-treated and sharpened, rather than a costume-shop casting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat does \"Excalibur\" mean?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe name descends from the Welsh Caledfwlch and the Latin Caliburnus, and is often interpreted as \"cut steel\" — a sword named for what it does. By Malory's telling, the name was sometimes glossed as \"cut-steel,\" and the blade shone so bright it dazzled Arthur's enemies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs Excalibur the sword in the stone?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn most tellings, no — they're two different swords. The sword in the stone proved Arthur's right to the throne; Excalibur came later, given by the Lady of the Lake after the first sword broke, and returned to her hand at Arthur's end. Some versions merge them, but the classic legend keeps them separate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs this sword sharpened?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes — both edges ship sharpened, backed by the full quench-and-temper heat treatment of the layered steel. Handle it with the respect a sharpened blade deserves, and use the included scabbard for storage and display.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat occasions suit an Excalibur?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAny moment about earned leadership: it's a favorite for graduations, promotions, retirements, weddings, and groomsman gifts — one of our customers gave this exact sword as a wedding gift. The legend does the speaking: the right person, receiving the right sword.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Battling Blades","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44688101605548,"sku":"1000020017","price":179.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2234\/4067\/files\/57159-Photoroom-Done_4f27fb63-c620-42c8-aa3b-0c22184b218c.jpg?v=1755742343"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2234\/4067\/collections\/1000000422-5-white-Dpne.jpg?v=1787192684","url":"https:\/\/battlingblades.com\/collections\/legendary-swords.oembed","provider":"Battling Blades","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
