Product description

The claymore (of the Gaelic claideamh-mor, large sword) was a Celtic two-handed sword that had a usual length of 150 cm or longer. Because of this length it was difficult for opponents to approach. The claymore had a long ricasso, so that the user could place two hands on the blade in the case that his enemy had approached anyway. The earliest claymores were used in the 16th century, the last was used during the 18th century. These later models had a cross-guard that ended in a kind of honeycomb pattern, it deflicted enemy blows and blocked the blade. It was also possible to hold the sword at the cross-guard and use it in that way. The claymore was the favourite weapon of the Scottish Highlanders together with the dirk and the Highland halberd, but it was also used by Irishmen. The Irishmen often used it in combination with a burning torch to distract the enemy with burns.

This claymore is made after a museum piece and has a fuller in the blade for flexibility and balance. The grip is covered with brown leather. The dark cross-guard has the typical honeycomb motive and partly covers the blade for protection in a scabbard. The claymore has a length of 151 cm with a blade of 104 cm. It weighs 2,2 kg.

Claymores like this were used during approx. the mid-16th century. Clan MacDuff was originally a Scottish-Pictish clan. The earliest clanchiefs were earls of Fife.

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.

Please note. After finishing the product yourself, the warranty and return right expire. Celtic WebMerchant is not responsible for the obtained result.
