Faithkeeper - Sword of the Knights Templar

The main driving force behind the Order of the Knights Templar was faith. Faith in God, faith in their mission and faith in each other. This sword is a testament to these valiant knights. The finest metalsmiths at Windlass Steelcrafts have spent hours on each blade, hand forging the high carbon steel for optimal balance, quickness and durability. Holding this piece in your hand will leave no doubt that this magnificent sword could have defended the Holy Land. The genuine hand-wrapped leather grip and the hand finished solid steel parts show just how tough and beautiful this sword truly is. The pommel features an inset coin, a tribute to Bohemond II, Crusader Prince of Antioch, while the cross guard is inscribed on both sides with the Latin phrase Christus Vincit ~Christus Regnat - Christ Conquers ~ Christ Reigns. The high-carbon steel blade has a deep fuller on both sides and has a pieced cross of the Knights Templar at its ricasso. The sword includes a custom, matching top grain leather scabbard and period belt, which has been decorated with both the seal and cross of the Templar order. This sword is truly a must-have for any aficionado of Knights Templar history. Companion to our Faithkeeper Dagger of the Knights Templar.
