Santa Casilda Longsword – 38" | 1095 High Carbon Steel
The Santa Casilda Longsword is inspired by the medieval weapons of 11th-century Castile, the era of Santa Casilda of Toledo. While Casilda herself was remembered as a saint of compassion and miracles rather than war, this longsword pays homage to the knightly traditions of Christian Spain, where faith and steel stood side by side. Forged from 1095 high carbon steel, sharpened and battle-ready, this piece embodies both the strength of the medieval knight and the enduring spirit of devotion.
Blade – 1095 High Carbon Steel
The 38-inch double-edged blade is hand-forged from 1095 high carbon steel, prized for its hardness, edge retention, and historical authenticity. Heat-treated to 56–58 HRC, the blade is capable of holding a razor-sharp edge while withstanding the rigors of combat.
A central fuller runs nearly the length of the blade, reducing weight and improving handling without sacrificing strength. With its balance of reach, cutting power, and agility, the Santa Casilda Longsword is a versatile weapon fit for knights of medieval Spain.
Hilt & Construction
The longsword features a curved crossguard in a medieval Iberian style, designed to protect the wielder’s hands during parries and strikes. The grip is wrapped for secure handling, long enough to allow both one-handed and two-handed use, making it a true hand-and-a-half sword. The faceted scent-stopper pommel balances the blade and doubles as a striking surface in close combat.
Built with full tang construction, this sword offers durability and strength, staying true to its battlefield heritage.
Scabbard
Each sword includes a standard black leather scabbard, designed for both protection and ease of carry. The scabbard reflects traditional medieval style, making it suitable for reenactments, display, or ceremonial presentation.
Historical Inspiration
Though Santa Casilda herself was revered for her compassion and miracles, this longsword draws from the martial world that surrounded her life in medieval Castile. Knights of her era carried weapons like this one as symbols of faith, loyalty, and honor. The Santa Casilda Longsword pays tribute to both traditions — the sword as a tool of power, and the saint as a symbol of mercy.
