Castellan Sword – Knightly Sword in 1095 High Carbon Steel
The Castellan Sword takes its name from the medieval castellan—the trusted knight appointed to defend and govern a castle in the name of his lord. These men were professional warriors, administrators, and guardians, and their arms reflected practicality, authority, and reliability rather than ornament alone.
Inspired by the swords carried by knights and castle guards during the High to Late Middle Ages, this 34-inch knightly sword follows classic European proportions. The straight, double-edged blade tapers cleanly to a sharp point, suitable for both cutting and thrusting techniques common to medieval swordsmanship. Its balanced profile and moderate length place it firmly in the tradition of sidearms worn by mounted and foot knights alike.
Forged from 1095 high carbon steel, the blade offers excellent hardness, edge retention, and durability—qualities historically valued in functional fighting swords. The hilt features a traditional crossguard and secure grip, reinforcing the restrained, service-oriented character implied by the sword’s name.

About 1095 High Carbon Steel
With approximately 0.95% carbon content, 1095 steel is widely used in historically inspired swords and blades for its ability to achieve high hardness and maintain a keen edge. When properly heat-treated, it delivers a strong balance of cutting performance and resilience, closely aligning with the functional intent of medieval weapons.
Whether displayed as part of a medieval arms collection or appreciated as a historically styled blade rooted in knightly tradition, the Castellan Sword reflects the role it is named for: dependable, disciplined, and built to serve.
