The Knights Templar were a monastic military order formed at the end of the First Crusade with the mandate of protecting Christian pilgrims on route to the Holy Land, naming themselves ''The Knights of the Temple of Jerusalem.'' This sword is a tribute to those famous warrior monks. The Albion Templar Sword (Oakeshott Type Xa) has a blade with little profile taper and a spade shaped point.The long and rather deep fuller, makes the sword rather light despite its impressive dimensions. The pommel is of Oakeshott type H, a thick disc with chamfered edges. The cross is of style 5: flat arms that flare in width at the ends. This combination of pommel and cross with a long and fairly broad blade makes for an absolutely classic sword.
The Albion Templar Sword features a sharpened 1075 carbon steel blade heat-treated to a fine temper in the Albion Forge Shop. The grip is of stabilized birch, wrapped with cord and covered with the highest grade vegetable-tanned calfskin. The guard and pommel are solid steel.
