Medieval Swords

Medieval Swords: The Blades of the Knightly Age

From the Viking raids to the last days of plate armour, the medieval sword evolved through a thousand years of constant warfare. This collection gathers every blade family of that age in one place: the knight's arming sword and longsword, the hand-and-a-half bastard sword, the Scottish claymore, the raider's Viking sword, the crusader and Templar blades of the holy wars, and the short swords that guarded closer quarters.

Built the Medieval Way

Our Damascus and 1095 high carbon steel blades are hand forged, the same construction principles a medieval swordsmith would recognize: a blade that holds its edge, flexes under impact and balances in the hand. Whether you are after a battle ready sword, a display centerpiece or the start of a collection, every sword here ships sharp from the forge.

Choosing a Medieval Sword

One-handed arming and Viking swords suit shield work and lighter handling. Longswords and bastard swords give reach and two-handed leverage while staying quick. Claymores and other great blades trade speed for sheer authority. If you want the full picture before choosing, our types of swords guide walks through every family, and the complete range lives in our sword collection.
