TEUTONIC KNIGHT CRUSADER SWORD IP-003A Legacy Arms
The Black Cross has been the symbol of the Teutonic Order from the 12th century to present. It is the predecessor to the Iron Cross that originated in 1219 when the Kingdom of Jerusalem granted the Teutonic Order the right to combine the Teutonic Black Cross placed above a silver Cross of Jerusalem. This Crusader Sword carries a similar theme, combining a black cross upon a "faceted wheel" steel pommel placed directly above a silver cruciform shaped crossguard.
This functional Teutonic Knight Crusader Sword features a hand forged, 34 1/2" 5160 high carbon steel blade that has been hand tempered. The cross guard and pommel are of solid steel and the dual-edge sharpened steel blade is constructed with a strong full length tang that is peened onto the pommel. The blade is equipped with a long fuller that runs over two thirds of its length, providing quickness and balance while maintaining the necessary stiffness for a devastating cutting stroke. The handle is hard-wood wrapped in leather.
The Legacy Arms Teutonic Knight Crusader Sword IP-003A includes a wood scabbard with black leather wrap and form fitting steel locket and chape. A matching Teutonic Knight Dagger (IP-103A) is also available and sold separately. Read more on Functional Series Swords

The Teutonic Order
Teutonic Knights or Teutonic Order, German military religious order founded (1190–91) during the siege of Acre in the Third Crusade. It was originally known as the Order of the Knights of the Hospital of St. Mary of the Teutons in Jerusalem.
