DELUXE KNIGHT'S TEMPLAR SWORD GOLD Edition 584 Marto The Marto 584 Deluxe Templar Sword is a handsomely crafted archetype that combines the chivalry, symbolism and battle-honed design of the swords used by these ambitious First Crusaders. The double edge blade is constructed of 440 Toledo Steel and is fully tempered for strength and flexibility. The low maintenance stainless steel has been brought to a lustrous mirror polish, and features a sharply decorated blade etched in black. The etching is of swirling scrollwork supporting the Templar cross Pattée, dual Templar Knights mounted upon one horse.
The tri-tone hilt is of antiqued Silver plated Zamak with swirling ivy floral decor accented with golden Winged Simargl in the grip and cross guard. The hilt and cross guard are decorated with bronzed medallions of Templar symbols which include Shields of Templar cross Pattée, and shields bearing acorn and Fleur-de-lis. A large Bronzed medallion resides in the center of the guard depicting two Templar Knights on the same horse — symbolizing both poverty and fierceness.
The large 2 1/2 inch pommel is of antiqued silver bearing a knot weave that encircles a Templar Cross detailed in Gold and Silver recessed within the pommel center. The pommel features four cut outs in the metal, one between each arm of the cross.
