Description
Excalibur Sword – The legendary blade of King Arthur, son of Uther Pendragon and Igraine. According to the tales, this sword was magically fixed within a stone, and only the truest and most worthy knight could draw it forth, thus proving his right to the throne. Excalibur was Arthur’s steadfast companion until his final battle with his adversary Mordred,who, in some versions, is also his son. After that fateful clash, the sword was returned to the Lady of the Lake, its mystical guardian. Whether you see yourself as the next Arthur or simply appreciate the weight of legend in your hand, the story of Excalibur carries the echoes of ancient power and honor.
This refined version of the Excalibur sword preserves the iconic design while improving its balance and handling. The blade is forged from high carbon 5160 steel, known for its resilience and edge retention, with a full tang construction peened through the handle to ensure strength and durability. The grip features a wooden core wrapped tightly in twisted stainless steel wire, flattened and reduced in diameter to about 32mm by 21mm, providing a secure hold and better control during use. The crossguard and pommel are crafted from plated stainless steel to resist corrosion and maintain their form over time.
A hardwood scabbard, wrapped in leather and accented with brass fittings, accompanies the sword, offering both protection and a touch of period authenticity.
