Militia Templi Sword

Step into the legacy of the medieval crusading orders with the Knight’s Templar Sword, inspired by the legendary warriors who swore vows of faith, loyalty, and courage. The Militia Templi, known for their unwavering devotion, carried swords not only as weapons but as sacred symbols of their divine mission to protect pilgrims, defend kingdoms, and uphold the will of God. This faithful recreation captures the spirit of the Templar knight, from its purposeful blade to its battle-ready construction.

Templar and Order of Aviz Heritage

The design of this Knight’s Templar Sword is rooted in Viking-age weaponry, featuring a double-edged blade that runs almost parallel for most of its length before tapering to a rounded point—ideal for both cutting and thrusting. The Knights Templar were founded near the end of the First Crusade, around 1112, becoming one of the most powerful and influential military orders of the Middle Ages. This particular replica draws inspiration from the Order of Aviz, established in 1128 in Portugal after receiving a grant from Theresa, Countess of Portugal. Both orders shared the ideals of chivalry, discipline, and service to God, making this sword a timeless emblem of medieval knighthood.
