{"product_id":"king-solomon-sword","title":"King Solomon Sword – Sword of Solomon – 1095 High Carbon Steel – 42\"","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe sword of history's wisest king, rendered in working steel. This 42-inch King Solomon sword pairs a sharpened 1095 high-carbon blade with a hilt of royal splendor: an ornately sculpted gold-tone crossguard with a crowned central escutcheon, a deep red grip banded in engraved gold-tone fittings, and a square pommel set with a silver-tone medallion bearing the Star of David. A fitted leather sheath is included.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo weapon attributed to Solomon survives — his reign, by tradition, was three thousand years ago — so this sword is a ceremonial interpretation in the grand style: the sword as the story remembers it, built on a real, fully heat-treated blade.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eThe Sword of Solomon's Judgment\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKing Solomon, son of David and king of Israel in the 10th century B.C.E., is remembered above all for one moment involving a sword. When two women each claimed the same infant, Solomon called for a blade and ordered the child divided between them — knowing the true mother would surrender her claim rather than see the child harmed. The sword was never meant to fall; it was the instrument that revealed the truth. 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. The gold-tone crossguard is cast in relief with scrollwork and sculpted terminals, rising to a crowned collar at the blade's base. The grip alternates rich red panels with engraved gold-tone bands, and the squared pommel frames its silver-tone Star of David medallion on both faces, finishing the sword with a recognizable silhouette from either side — in hand or on the wall.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eThe 1095 High Carbon Steel Blade\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe blade is forged from 1095 high-carbon steel — 0.95% carbon, currently the highest-carbon steel commonly used in swords — hardened and tempered to 56–58 HRC, and shipped sharpened along both edges. Its long, straight, double-edged profile follows the oldest lineage in swordmaking, the same broad tradition that runs from the ancient spatha through the knightly swords of the Middle Ages, drawn out here to a commanding 42 inches.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLike all high-carbon steel, the blade is not stainless: wipe it clean after handling and keep it lightly oiled, and its finish and edge will last indefinitely. It can easily be resharpened for a lifetime of service.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eExplore more historical and legendary designs in our complete \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/battlingblades.com\/collections\/swords\"\u003esword collection\u003c\/a\u003e, or \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/battlingblades.com\/products\/customize-your-own-sword\"\u003ecreate your own custom sword\u003c\/a\u003e with the blade, steel, and fittings you choose.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSword Details\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOverall length: 42\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlade material: 1095 high-carbon steel (0.95% carbon)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRockwell hardness: 56–58 HRC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEdge: Sharpened, double-edged\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlade profile: Long, straight, tapering to a spear point\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGuard: Ornate gold-tone crossguard with sculpted terminals\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGrip: Red panels with engraved gold-tone bands\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePommel: Squared gold-tone pommel with silver-tone Star of David medallion\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncluded: Fitted leather sheath\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePrimary classification: King Solomon sword (ceremonial interpretation)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRelated classifications: Sword of Solomon, historical legend sword\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDesign inspiration: The legendary sword of King Solomon — not a reproduction of a surviving original\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSword Care\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRemove fingerprints and moisture from the blade after handling, and apply a thin coat of mineral oil or sword oil before storage. 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","url":"https:\/\/battlingblades.com\/products\/king-solomon-sword","provider":"Battling Blades","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
