Guard: cross-shaped 304 stainless steel quillons protect the hand while preserving the clean, noble lines of a classic knight's longsword.
Scabbard: in wood and genuine cowhide leather with a deep crimson finish, hand-worked with gold ornamentation and brass fittings, it completes the royal character of the sword while keeping the blade secure.
Handle: the 24.5 cm (9.6 in) handle is handmade in wood and genuine cowhide leather, topped with a crafted pommel, for a firm, comfortable grip and impeccable balance.
Dimensions: with an overall length of 126 cm (49.6 in) and a weight of 1.8 kg (4.0 lb), the Crimson Lion Longsword strikes a perfect balance between reach, power and control.
An ideal piece for medieval-history enthusiasts, re-enactors and collectors — the Crimson Lion Longsword embodies the strength and splendour of the chivalric tradition.
Buying a sword in the UK
Sold only to adults aged 18 and over. Curved swords with a blade of 50 cm or more are hand-forged using traditional methods, as required by the Criminal Justice Act 1988 (Offensive Weapons) Order as amended in 2008.
Carrying a bladed article in a public place without good reason is an offence. Transport your sword wrapped, and only for a legitimate purpose (dojo, re-enactment, collection). Rules may differ in Scotland.
Care

- Apply a thin film of oil every few weeks to prevent rust.
- Store it horizontally in its saya, edge up, away from damp.
