This functional Templar 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 one third 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 Templar Order was initially formed to protect European pilgrims to Jerusalem and back following the conquest. The Knights received official endorsement by the Catholic Church in 1129 and flourished, growing in strength and wealth, until 1307, when bankrupt King Philip IV obtained permission from Pope Clement V to put an end to the Order. Many members in France and elsewhere were rounded up, charged with heresy, tortured, and burned at the stake. The order was officially disbanded in 1312 AD, but legend holds that a group of Knights Templar survived the massacre, went into hiding, and kept the Order alive and growing in strength to this day.
