Crusader Knight Sword - Oakeshott Type XII Arming Sword - 36"

This 36" Crusader Knight Sword follows the classic form of an Oakeshott Type XII arming sword, one of the most recognizable sword types of the High Middle Ages. With its broad double-edged blade, central fuller, one-handed grip, and cruciform guard, this sword reflects the knightly sidearms carried across Western Europe during the 12th and 13th centuries.

The Oakeshott Type XII was a practical medieval sword form, designed with enough blade presence for strong cutting while still tapering toward a useful thrusting point. It is strongly associated with the age of mail armor, shields, crusading knights, and the transitional period before longer two-handed swords became more common. Its clean, balanced design made it one of the defining sword profiles of the medieval knight.

This version features a stainless steel blade, giving it a lower-maintenance finish suited for display, collection, costuming, and medieval dƩcor. The blade includes a long central fuller, often called a blood groove, which gives the sword its historically familiar profile while reducing visual weight along the blade. The curved crossguard adds a distinctive crusader-era look, while the leather-wrapped grip and brass-tone pommel complete the traditional knight sword appearance.

At 36" overall, this sword has more presence than a shorter medieval side sword while still keeping the proportions of a one-handed arming sword. It is a strong choice for collectors looking for a historically recognizable Crusader sword, a medieval knight sword, or an Oakeshott-style arming sword with classic European styling.

Stainless Steel Blade

This Crusader Knight Sword is made with a stainless steel blade, which gives it a clean, polished look while making it easier to maintain than high carbon steel. Stainless steel is valued for its resistance to rust, staining, and everyday moisture, making it a practical choice for collectors who want a sword that can be displayed with less frequent upkeep.

For decorative, costume, and collection swords, stainless steel offers several advantages. It keeps its bright finish well, requires less oiling than carbon steel, and is less likely to develop surface corrosion from humidity or handling. That makes it especially useful for display pieces, wall-mounted collections, medieval dƩcor, and buyers who want the look of a traditional knight sword without the higher maintenance demands of carbon steel.

Historically, medieval swords were not made from stainless steel, but modern stainless steel provides durability, corrosion resistance, and a more consistent finish for contemporary collectors. For customers who prioritize low maintenance, clean appearance, and long-term display quality, stainless steel is an excellent material choice.

Custom, engraved, altered, made-to-order, backordered, and specialty items (including armor and chess sets) may require additional production time before they ship. Fully custom items typically take 4 to 8 weeks, but complex requests may take longer depending on the design, materials, approvals, and production requirements.
