The Maintz Pattern Roman Gladius takes its inspiration from the historic **Mainz type gladius**, named for archaeological finds associated with Mainz, Germany, the Roman city of Mogontiacum.

Recognizable by its distinctive wasp-waisted blade and long, tapered point, the Mainz pattern represents one of the most iconic sword forms of the early Roman Empire. This interpretation by Windlass Steelcrafts pairs that unmistakable profile with traditional wood fittings and a natural bone grip, giving every example its own subtle character.

A fascinating piece of Roman history, and a design that remains instantly recognizable nearly 2,000 years later.

Armour changed. So did the sword.

The Oakeshott Type XIV is a fascinating example of medieval sword design in transition. Popular around the late 13th and early 14th centuries, its broad blade retained formidable cutting capability while tapering quickly toward an acute point.

It’s a compact, purposeful design from an era when European armour was becoming increasingly sophisticated.

Carry a piece of cinematic legend into your collection with the William Wallace Braveheart Claymore. Inspired by the towering blade seen on screen, this dramatic replica captures the bold spirit and defiant energy that made Braveheart unforgettable. It is designed as a decorative showpiece, bringing the presence of a Highland hero into any room without being a functional weapon.

This claymore embraces the film’s iconic look with its long, clean blade lines, narrow crossbar, and rugged leather-wrapped grip. Whether displayed in a dedicated collector’s space or used as a standout accent in your home theatre, it is a tribute to one of the most memorable movie swords ever filmed.

“Orcrist – The Sword of Thorin Oakenshield”

Discovered in a troll hoard during The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey, Orcrist—known to the Goblins as “The Biter”—became the trusted companion of Thorin Oakenshield on his quest to reclaim Erebor. Forged by the High Elves of the West, this legendary blade carried both elegance and power, its flowing Elven design and runic engravings marking it as a relic of a forgotten age.

This stunning collectible is a faithful recreation of the original movie prop, crafted with the same attention to artistry that brought Middle-earth to life on screen. From the dragon-tooth-shaped hilt and Elven inscriptions to the heraldic detailing and wall display plaque, every element honors the craftsmanship of the High Elves and the courage of the Dwarven King who bore it.

Bring a piece of the legend home and let Orcrist stand as a symbol of strength, honor, and the enduring spirit of adventure.

Step back into the high medieval era with the Oakeshott Type XIV Sword — a blade designed for both power and precision. Subtly swelling toward the tip, this arming sword delivers exceptional cutting ability while keeping a sharp, agile point for the thrust. It feels quick in the hand, rewarding proper technique with lively handling.

Inspired by Ewart Oakeshott’s influential typology, the Type XIV represents the quintessential knightly sword of the late 13th and early 14th centuries. These were the working swords of their age, carried daily by warriors across Europe, prized for their versatility on and off the battlefield.

This modern recreation by Windlass Steelcrafts remains true to its roots. Featuring a sharpened blade, steel fittings, a leather-wrapped wooden grip, and a fitted scabbard, it’s ready to display or take into practice. A perfect addition for collectors, reenactors, or students of historical martial arts.

Step back into the Viking Age with the Viking Hand Axe (Skeggox), a historically inspired piece that bridges tradition and craftsmanship. Designed by Lynn C. Thompson, Dave Baker, and Rich McDonald, this axe features a sturdy 30" American Hickory handle paired with a wide, bearded blade, echoing the tools and arms carried by Norsemen over a thousand years ago.

The distinctive “beard” of the Skeggox wasn’t just for looks — it allowed for extended cutting edges without extra weight and gave Viking warriors the ability to hook shields or control an opponent. Today, it’s perfect for reenactors, collectors, and history enthusiasts alike. Add our Factory+Edge sharpening service for an authentic, functional finish, or customize your axe in true Viking style.

Why did medieval swords become more sharply tapered as armour improved? ⚔️

By the later Middle Ages, European armour was becoming increasingly sophisticated, and sword design evolved alongside it. The elegant Type XVIII family is known for strong tapering profiles, acute points, and the unmistakable proportions of the late medieval knightly sword.

The Knightly German Bastard Sword takes its inspiration from that fascinating period of changing armour, changing tactics, and changing sword design.

A legendary Swordmaster of House Atreides, Duncan Idaho embodies loyalty, valor, and unmatched skill. Sworn to protect Paul Atreides as if he were his own blood, Duncan’s long blade became a symbol of his unwavering duty and lethal mastery.

This officially licensed reproduction from United Cutlery is crafted directly from the film prop, featuring a 22 3/8" black-coated stainless steel blade engraved with Caladanian script, a hawk sigil above the handle, and a wrapped grip that mirrors the weapon wielded on screen. Complete with a wooden display adorned with the sigil of House Atreides and a certificate of authenticity, it is a true centerpiece for any Dune collection.

⚓ Why did a Civil War sailor carry a sword this short?

Space aboard a 19th-century warship could be extremely limited. The U.S. Model 1860 Naval Cutlass combined a compact curved blade with a substantial brass hand guard, creating a design well suited to the crowded environment of a ship’s deck.

Produced historically by the Ames Manufacturing Company, the Model 1860 became one of the most recognizable American naval cutlass patterns of the Civil War era.

Take a closer look at this recreation of an American naval classic:
