Claymore Sword- High Carbon 1095 Steel Sword- Scottish Sword
Step into the Scottish Highlands with the Claymore, a legendary sword emblematic of valor and Gaelic pride. The Claymore stands as a testament to Scottish heritage and martial prowess from the 15th through the 17th centuries. Its name, derived from the Gaelic "Claidheamh-mòr" meaning "Great Sword", offers a hint of its grandeur. Historical Significance: The Claymore comes in two renowned variants. The first is the two-handed sword, reminiscent of the European bastard or longsword, but set apart by its distinctive optional basket grip. This intricate basket hilt design, similar to the rapier but accommodating both hands, offers not just protection but a signature aesthetic. The second variant, marked by its forward-sloping or V-shaped hilt, is equally iconic. As the 18th century dawned, "claymore" in Scotland specifically referred to the basket-hilted design. By 1707, with the Acts of Union merging Scottish and English armies, this mighty blade became the Highland emblem of might. Scott
