This is also the motto of the Knights of the Garter. The guard and pommel are metal cast and are then given a beautiful polished brass finish and decorated with silver engraved medallion accents. The engraved silver features of the hilt are given an antiqued patina giving a nice visual comliment to the black leather wrap grip bound with gold plated spacers.
