Overview
Celtic Bronze Sword - 27'' Blade - Deepeeka
This Celtic Sword has a blade cast from bronze. It is secured to cast bronze hilt with three bronze rivets in the guard.
Steel is certainly a superior metal for a bladed weapon, but bronze has a few enviable properties. For one, bronze will usually bend instead of breaking - historically many bronze weapons lasted so long that that the act of re-sharpening them over time altered their entire shape - some swords even became acutely pointed daggers due to repeated sharpenings.
Also - a cast bronze weapon has a much more durable hilt than later steel weapons - the hilt can be cast from a single solid piece, making a loosening of hilt fittings impossible. Bronze is also far less prone to corrosion - the archaeological record is full of well-preserved bronze age weapons - their successor generations of iron weapons are far more scarce and far less well preserved.

Spectacular Bronze Sword This sword is an excellent copy of some historic celtic bronze swords that have been discovered. It is a sturdy blade that is finely polished. When looking at it in the light you can see waves, as though it were hammer-hardened before being polished, which is a nice extra mile, considering its very affordable price. The blade has a good balance, though when held properly at the grip feels very top heavy. This specific model is very heavy, and when swinging, both feels and moves more like a claymore than a 1-handed sword. I intend to begin regular forearm exercises in order to make it easier to handle. The sword’s blade is blunt, as in a flat edge at least 3mm thick where an edge would be. You will need to grind an edge, then add a bevel and sharpen it manually, if you intend to use this sword for anything other than mounting it on a wall. The grip is comfortable, and judging from the leftover space would suit hands of varying sizes, granted I typically wear small or medium sized gloves, depending on manufacture. I’m not sure what the exact composition of the alloy is, but historically speaking, tin-bronze alloy was 10% tin to 90% copper. Since it appears that the swordsmith went through the trouble to hammer-harden and polish the blade, I’m going to say the alloy is correct as well, or at least extremely close. If you are a history buff, interested in the Celts for ethnic or cultural reasons, or just really enjoy the bronze age in general, and its various cultures, this is a wonderful piece to add to your collection. I had always wanted a Celtic bronze sword; it was something that, among the other pieces in my collection, I fekt brought me a little closer to my ancestors. All in all, this heavy chunk of bronze is one of the most beautiful swords that I have ever seen. I dare say that all of the bronze swords offered are works of art.
Beautiful, just beautiful! I added sharpening on mine and it is a perfect job! Currently the Showpiece in my collection. I am completely happy with this purchase!
This is a very well made weapon. I could find no defects in craftsmanship or other on any part of this sword. It is a great showpiece as well as a trainer if you want something with some weight to it.
