Maciejowski Chopper

The Maciejowski Chopper is one of the most striking medieval weapons ever depicted in historical manuscripts. Unlike traditional swords, this weapon features an imposing single-edged blade designed for devastating cuts. Originally produced by Windlass Steelcrafts, it was discontinued for several years, but due to overwhelming demand, it has returned for collectors, historical enthusiasts, and sword aficionados alike.

A Weapon Without a Name

No known historical name exists for this fearsome weapon. It gets its modern name from the Maciejowski Bible (also known as the Morgan Bible), a 13th-century illuminated manuscript that vividly illustrates biblical stories with medieval European arms and armor.

Our version is directly inspired by plate 21 of the manuscript, entitled The Rescue of Lot, where warriors wield similar weapons in battle. However, similar chopper-like swords appear in other medieval manuscripts from the same period, confirming its historical significance.

Brutal Design and Power

The Maciejowski Chopper is engineered for raw power and efficiency. Its broad, flat blade is designed to maximize cutting potential, while the two-handed grip provides tremendous leverage, allowing for powerful, sweeping strikes. This weapon was likely intended for combat against heavily armored opponents, where brute force was necessary to break through defenses.

Key Features:

• Blade: Single-edged, broad, and flat for devastating cuts.
• Material: Hand-forged from 1075 high-carbon steel for durability and resilience.
• Tang: Full-profile tang construction ensures strength and balance.
• Grip: Wooden scales for a comfortable yet firm hold.
• Fittings: Antiqued copper fittings enhance the medieval aesthetic.

A Unique Piece for Collectors and Enthusiasts

Whether you are a historical weapons enthusiast, a collector, or a reenactor, the Maciejowski Chopper is an extraordinary addition to any collection. Its menacing appearance, coupled with its historical roots and practical combat design, makes it stand out among medieval swords.
