Swords

The Hessian Horseman Sword is the massive, two-handed sword that was used by the evil Hessian in the classic motion picture Sleepy Hollow. This sinister and powerful sword has the snake's head pommel with faux ruby jeweled eyes and serpent scale grip. All this gives the blade a truly venomous design. A tempered, high carbon steel blade provides the bite to this sword, allowing it to back up its fierce appearance.

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.

The Greeks or Etruscans were probably the first to use a falcata, but they were also popular with the tribes that lived on the Iberian peninsula. The unusual shape of our Hispanic falcata makes it ideal for delivering serious cuts, which is why the Romans feared the weapon.

The single-edged blade is curved inward, has two fullers that meet in the middle and echo the shape of the blade, and a wide back. The engraving on the distinctive grip depicts a primitive bird of prey. This falcata includes a scabbard.
