This longsword is based on a fine 15th Century example kept within the collection of the National Museum of Medieval Art in Paris. The blade is forged from tempered C60 high carbon steel (a steel with properties similar to 1060 high carbon steel) and has a diamond cross section to give it a good compromise between the cut and thrust.

The robust crossguard and pommel are crafted from blued steel and the wooden grip is carefully bound in tightly-fitted red leather. A leather rainguard chape on the guard completes the hilt and the blade is solidly anchored into the hilt with a peen over the pommel.

The sword is matched with a wood-core scabbard which is wrapped in matched leather with stitched construction. Its locket and chape are made from matched blued steel.

Our Temple Church sword is a replica of a sword found in the River Thames in London. The sword, forged in the period between 1300-1350, was discovered opposite Temple Church, the headquarters of the Knights Templar in England.

During the 14th century, the gardens of the Temple in London ran down to the river’s edge where this sword was discovered. The discovery location, coupled with the crosses in the pommel, suggests that it is a Templar knight’s sword thrown into the river when the Order of the Temple was dissolved by Edward II in 1314.
