Espada Castellana – Spanish Knight’s Longsword
A symbol of honor, chivalry, and conquest, the Espada Castellana was the sword of Castilian knights during the Reconquista, a centuries-long battle to reclaim Spain from Moorish rule. This 30-inch Spanish longsword is inspired by the weapons wielded by the warriors of Castile, blending refined craftsmanship with battlefield practicality. Featuring a double-edged stainless steel blade, an ornate crossguard, and a noble pommel, this sword is both a functional sidearm and a tribute to Spain’s medieval history.
A Blade of the Castilian Knights
During the 12th to 15th centuries, the Espada Castellana was carried by Spanish knights, nobles, and warriors fighting to unify Spain under Christian rule. Designed for slashing and thrusting, this type of longsword was ideal for mounted combat, duels, and large-scale battles. The long, straight blade allowed for powerful cuts, while the tapered point made it effective for piercing armor and chainmail.
This sword was favored by Castilian warlords, royal guards, and noble champions, many of whom engraved their weapons with Christian symbols, heraldry, or battle inscriptions. The gold-accented crossguard and heraldic pommel on this sword reflect the rich traditions of Spanish knighthood, where swords were not just weapons, but symbols of duty, faith, and military prowess.
Expertly Crafted Stainless Steel Blade
This Espada Castellana is made from stainless steel, offering both durability and a polished finish. The full-length double edge ensures authentic medieval design, while the engraved details on the hilt and pommel add a touch of noble refinement.
The ergonomic handle is wrapped in high-quality materials, providing a secure grip for handling and display. The balanced construction ensures that the sword feels both powerful and precise, just as the knights of Castile would have wielded it in battle.
