Beskrivning
The claymore is a two-handed sword which was used in Scotland during the 16th and 17th century. There are a lot of terms and spellings used for this sword, the most of them originate from Gaelic: Claidhem-More, Claidhmhichean-mora, Glaymore, claidheamh mòr. All of them just mean great sword. It’s about a long two-handed sword with double-edged blade and a wide guard often formed like a “v” with circular decorations at the end. The former claymore swords often had a long leather wrapped ricasso.
The blade of this claymore has been hand-forged of carbon steel. It contains the typical guard with shamrock-decorations. The blade is forged in one piece to the hilt and screwed to it. The wooden hilt is wrapped with black leather.
The blade is not sharpened.
