The Eindride is a sword for the lone wolf, the wanderer, the outcast. Someone who, for a time at least, is separated from their pack. This sword's cast bronze guard features snarling wolf heads on the hilt, accented by traditional knotwork. A simple bronze scentstopper pommel and wooden grip complement the elaborate hilt. The blade has a thick ricasso that transitions into a single fuller double edged design that has norse runes inscribed, reading, "One Who Rides Alone" - a snarl from the indomitable heart of the lone wolf. The Eindride was designed with these people in mind, in honour of their unbreakable spirits, to be their companion when no one else is. We hope it will keep you safe on the journey.

A long, two-handed cutting weapon, the Guardian’s well-weighted blade is capable of cutting down the hardiest of foes. Forged from tempered 5160 steel with a beefy full tang, the Guardian is one of our most frequently purchased swords and may be the most popular fantasy design we’ve ever produced.

A hybrid of Medieval and Renaissance, Historical and Fantasy, the Darksword Armory Viscount Sword is one of our most unique designs. Based on an Oakeshott Type XX blade (a late Medieval type) with a traditionally Renaissance scentstopper pommel and a unique modern-inspired guard, this hand-and-a-half sword is a standout piece. Fully battle ready, as a bastard sword this weapon can be wielded both one-handed and two-handed with equal effectiveness. Suitable for use in combat or for displaying as an eye-catching centerpiece in your collection, the Viscount is a sword as noble as its name.

Late 17th century – German. Original found in the Medieval Crime Museum (Mittelalterliches Kriminalmuseum), in Germany.

The Executioner sword was a symbolic and ‘facilitator’ of judicial law, representing the final sentence upon the medieval criminal. Many courtrooms displayed executioner swords on their walls. Their presence however was not solely symbolic, since it had a concrete purpose in the decapitation of the condemned. Executioner sword blades were typically engraved with vivid imagery of torture and punishment.
