Overview
Templar Cross Sword - Deepeeka
The Templar Cross Sword has a blade forged from high carbon steel which has been tempered. The hand-forged crossguard and pommel are fashioned from steel and the grip is hardwood which is bound in a spiralled wrap of tight and high quality leather. The inset cross on both sides of the pommel has been filled with a vibrant red enamel to give the sword an element of bold color. The sword blade has been solidly mounted into the hilt by affixing the tang into the hilt and pommel with a robust peen.
Included with the sword is a scabbard which is crafted from thick and durable leather with sturdily stitched construction. Integrated onto the scabbard are hanging rings of antiqued brass which connect to an adjustable sword belt with a matching antiqued brass buckle.
A stylistically matching dagger is available which can be paired with this sword to make a complete set. It is sold separately and is available under the ''also available'' section.

this templar cross sword kinda look like a scottish sword to, i like it, but could it be sharpened too
First off definitely get it sharpened no joke otherwise it’s blunt as heck , I only didn’t do it because of I got a gift card credit card thing and it would have gone over the limit.
Second blade was dirty and oily when it arrived not sure if that’s the norm as this is my first ever sword .
Third there are scratches and scuff marks across the blade nothing you can see from a distance but close it’s easy to tell , the sword itself structure wise is great but attention to detail as far as cleaning up is lacking. There is black and brown residue underneath the crossguard and on the pommel
Also the belt is not detachable as far as I can tell so keep that in mind
Overall the basics are great but was clearly not even taken a second look at when it comes to the clean up
Just a sour taste in my mouth
Very well made I would suggest added sharpening for anyone who wants to use this as a real weapon but all and all it is very well done the sheath is solid and the blade is nice
Decent Sword. The Sword came a little dirty with scratches on it (nothing too severe), I’m assuming it was made by a more amateur blacksmith. The Sword is in decent condition, somewhat sharp (I ordered sharpening), could be sharper. It arrived 12 days after ordering and looks just like the image. Not bad, but you might be able to find something better.
Arrived:
Timely and coated in protective oil. Which is good but seems a little dirtier than it should…?
Blade:
Spring temper, great steel, I ordered factory edge and expected some sort of edge, but it’s not even rounded, it’s like genuinely just flat. But I can sharpen it myself and it’ll be just fine.
Crossguard and Pommel:
I can’t figure out what kind of steel these are made of but I’m just gonna oil them like the rest of the blade.
Sheath:
Leather looks good but not as nice as photo, my belt strings were somehow put the wrong way around so I have to cross them over if I want to wear it on my left side. Can’t store in it long term because of how leather holds moisture, but that’s fine.
Overall:
Good sword for it’s prices, like other reviews say there are scratches and nicks etc. Especially where the blade goes into the crossguard looks really rough. I can’t say it’s a beautiful sword but it’s definitely functional. I haven’t done cuts with it yet but I have reason to believe it will perform well as I’ve swung it around a bit already. The point of balance is a little farther up than maybe ideal, but this is my first sword and I need to build up wrist strength to really evaluate it properly anyway.
I would recommend this for people like me with a tighter budget, but if you are able to spend more on a sword I do think you should do that elsewhere.
