The Celts, regarded as barbarians by Mediterranean peoples, actually possessed excellent blacksmithing skills and made fine bronze, iron and steel swords in antiquity. Their swords were often longer then the southern cultures, a testament to their skill required to make long blades and a culture that celebrated the individual warrior and champion. Their blades evolved over time, growing longer and the hilts have a variety of designs. From the iconic anthromorphic to a vase-like silhouette, to this exampe with its spiral pommel and guard. This Celtic Sword, made in the Czech Republic, has a high carbon steel blade. The grip is wrapped in spiralled brown leather. The pommel and guard are left with a rough finish to give an antiqued and forged appearance. Built for stage combat the wide edges are flat and blunt and the blade is peened and welded to the pommel for strength. Please Note: The grip color and the type of leather grip wrap used on this sword can vary - grip colors can vary from brown to black. There may also be variations in hilt style or grip length.
