ROBIN HOOD SWORD (Black/Gold finish) SG224 ART GLADIUS of Spain The Robin Hood Sword is constructed by the world famous Art Gladius sword makers in Toledo, Spain. Robin Hood (Robyn Hode in earlier manuscripts) was a heroic outlaw from English folklore. He is traditionally associated with "robbing from the rich to give to the poor" and was both an excellent archer and swordsman. There are many legends surrounding him, the most popular of which sees him fighting the Sheriff of Nottingham and evil Prince John whilst King Richard was away fighting in the Crusades. This Sword of Robin Hood is styled on the "Locksley Sword" from the movie Robin Hood – Prince of Thieves.
The cruciform style forward swept hilt is sculpted and cast in metal zamak that has been baked in black enamel finish. Decorative elements of the grip and pommel are detailed in hand painted gold, while a Coat of Arms is seated in the hand guard's center detailed in red, white, and blue.
The Robin Hood Sword features a large pommel that takes the form of a Celtic High Cross adorn with golden knotwork in each cross arm. A large glass red ruby jewel is mounted in its center. The outer ring of the cross bears the name "Robin of Locksley" in gold lettering. The wooden grip is wrapped in black leather and divided by gold plated spacers.
The 34 3/4 inch fullered blade is constructed in 420C stainless steel that is tempered to 45-50 HRC, and given a lustrous mirror polish that is virtually maintenance free. The Spanish steel blade is masterfully deep-etched and filled in black with Robin's title "ROBIN OF LOCKSLEY" surrounded in scrolling ivy floral patterns and Celtic Wheel Cross. Each blade is stamped with the Art Gladius logo and Toledo seal of authenticity. The Robin Hood Sword's dual-edge blade is dulled for safety and well suited for costume, theatre, presentation and stunning display.
