:: The Flames of the
Angel ::
fantasy sword
Resplendent in shining armor as he fights the forces of darkness, the
Paladin is a common character type from many different stories of
fantasy. Loosely based on the historical knights that served Charlemagne and
brought to popularity by the Dungeons and Dragons series of games and books,
the Paladin is supposedly a paragon of moral behavior and righteousness.
They are frequently depicted slaying dragons or other foul creatures.
Flame of Angels was designed by
sword collector and Western martial Arts practitioner Adam Sharp, originally
for a contest in partnership with Arms of Valor. The sword was designed to
be the special blade of a fictional Paladin who guarded a holy temple,
though it was not based on a character currently in published fiction. The
flared blade is evocative of a candle flame or drop of water, leaf shaped
with a deep and wide fuller.
