Product description
A claymore with Celtic details. The pommel and crossguard are decorated with triskelions. The triskelion consists of a triple spiral with rotational symmetry or other threefold patterns emerging from a common center. The spiral design may be based on interlocking Archimedean spirals or represent three curved human limbs. The triple appearance can be compared to the Germanic Valknut and the triquetra. The art of the Hallstatt period (800–500 BCE) was characterized by geometric patterns and abstract motifs. The spiral-shaped triskelion continued to be used, appearing on objects such as fibulae (brooches). Sometimes, the triskelion featured four shapes instead of three. The Germanic art styles of the Bronze and Iron Ages also incorporated similar motifs.

Prevent rust and corrosion by oiling your weapons regularly. Remove rust easily with black sandpaper. Remove burrs with a whetstone. Make sure you have removed all burrs before using a battle-ready weapon, as they can cause wounds.
Tip: How to adjust the finish of your armour and weaponry
Luxurious (polished)- polish the steel with metal polish or toothpaste. You can even give the item a mirror-like polish. Test on a small surface first!
Handmade (matte)- soak the steel in cola for 40 minutes to 20 hours. Check regularly and treat with black sandpaper.
Antique (patinated) leave the steel to rust for some time in a damp environment, preferably outside. Remove the red layer of rust, to reveal the corroded top layer.
