The hilt of the Isle of Eigg Sword is the finest example of a Viking sword hilt ever found in Scotland and currently resides on the National Museums of Scotland collection. It was discovered on the island of Eigg in the Inner Hebrides by a local farmer whilst levelling a mound. The mound is thought to have contained a pagan burial and also contained bronze bucket mounts, a whetstone and some pieces of the original blade. 

Our Isle of Eigg Sword replica features a double-edged blade with wide central fuller. The grip, guard and pommel are made of cast bronze. The unsharpened blade is made of well-tempered mild steel and is peened at the pommel for durability. It comes complete with a leather-wrapped wooden scabbard with similar bronze fittings.

The Knightly Sword is the perfect accompaniment for any costume, whether it be for film, theatre or fancy dress. The non-sharp steel blade is polished and lightly oiled for protection. The guard and pommel are crafted from steel and are separated by a leather covered wood grip. The well-made scabbard is hand crafted from wood and leather.

Although this sword is constructed from high carbon steel and has a full tang, we would not recommend it for use as the blade has not been heat-treated.
