Depending on the tale, Robin Hood was either commoner or fallen nobility. Either way, the Robin Hood Sword is a blade suitable for a forest-dwelling bandit, seeking either riches or revenge. Gifted to him by family or stolen from a noble warrior in Sherwood Forest, this weapon is a stainless steel blade set on an ornately metal cast hilt that befits a both a noble warrior and a forest bandit. The guard is set with images largely reminiscent of a forest with a shield protecting a cross at its center. The hilt is simple, decorated only by four bands that encompass the hilt with circular patterns that serve not only to enhance the grip but to add quality to the sword. The most ornamental piece of the blade is the pommel, a blue stone held within a circle by metal prongs, making it look very-much like a stylized cross. Earned or stolen, the Robin Hood Sword no doubt became a part of the persona. The sword likely became as recognizable as the man did, in time.

I purchased this sword to be part of a Templar outfit for the Pennsylvania Renaissance Faire. I knew the sword could not be drawn at the fair so I did not pay much attention to the blade description even though it turned out to be quite nice as a low cost item. The scabbard was remarkable, perhaps too nice for my intended use. The hilt was well done with lots of detail, and that is where my surprise came. The pictures did not clearly show the pummel details which included “Robin of Locksley” on one side and “Earl of Huntington” on the other. The added details on the pummel I could have done without but all in all, I’m sure it will look great once it is added to the entire outfit.
