Swords by Name

It should come as no surprise that our sword collection is very varied, ranging from weapons inspired by the Bronze Age to military weapon replicas from World War II. Our offerings include long swords with heavier blades and a two-handed grip, small swords with sharp points, and even double-edged swords with long leaf-shaped blades–all crafted from stainless steel, high-carbon steel, Damascus steel, and other materials. Among these weapons, the arming sword and single-handed sword are prized for their balance and craftsmanship.

We understand the appeal of modern swords outside close-quarters combat, so we offer complete packages of epic replicas for LARP, cosplay, and other pursuits. At Medieval Collectibles, we hand-forge high-quality blades that become a symbol of the skill and rich history of traditional sword making. Previously just a symbol of power among the nobility, you can finally have your very own sword.

To make your searching easier, we have created a “Medieval Swords by Name” category that sorts each sword by its name and style. Click on the name or the picture of the subcategory for your battle-ready weapon, display piece, or both. This section includes everything from fully functional medieval swords to custom swords with a distinctive curved blade.

How to Find Medieval Swords

Medieval blades, with their long history and varied styles, including long blades and hilts of unique designs, continue to fascinate and find an audience in a new generation of gamers, cosplayers, artists, and collectors. Given the vast variety of styles and types of these weapons, we find it best to group them according to what they are called.

If you want a long sword but don’t want to go through every single item inspired by the artistry and weaponry of different eras and cultures–such as during the beginning of the Roman Empire, the height of the Middle Ages or the dynasties of China–you can skip that step. Instead, you can simply click “Long Swords” for a more comprehensive selection. You can do the same with hand-and-a-half swords, bastard swords, short swords, arming swords, greatswords, claymores, and flamberges.

If you are looking for blade styles with the same influences, such as the iconic curved blade of a scimitar or the distinct sharp point of a fencing rapier, you will still find them here Even if you just want a Robin Hood-like sword, a Knights Templar sword look-alike, or a Masonic sword with a heavier blade, our selections have them for you.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I properly care for and maintain my sword to ensure its longevity?

Proper sword maintenance is key to preserving the beauty and functionality of its hand-forged craftsmanship. It is recommended to clean your sword regularly with a soft cloth to remove fingerprints and moisture, which can cause rust. Applying a thin coat of oil after cleaning helps prevent rust and corrosion for high-carbon or Damascus steel blades. Additionally, swords should be stored in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to avoid material degradation.

How are the Medieval Collectibles swords balanced in performances or reenactments?

The swords from Medieval Collectibles are designed for balance, which is crucial for realistic performances and reenactments. The balance point, or “point of balance,” is strategically placed to ensure the sword feels comfortable in hand and is easy to maneuver. Whether you need a sword for staged combat or display, each piece is crafted to offer a realistic feel and performance quality.

Are there specific safety precautions to consider when handling or displaying replica swords?

Absolutely. Even heavy replica swords have a cutting edge and should be handled carefully. When displaying swords, ensure they are mounted securely to avoid accidental falls or injuries. If you plan to use swords for reenactments or LARPing, always wear appropriate protective gear and follow guidelines to prevent accidents. Keep swords out of reach of children and ensure they are used responsibly.
