Knight Templar Sword with scabbard SB5501B

“A Templar Knight is truly a fearless knight, and secure on every side, for his soul is protected by the armor of faith, just as his body is protected by the armor of steel. He is thus doubly-armed, and need fear neither demons nor men.” The Knights Templar was the elite fighting force of their day. Even their horses were trained to fight in combat, kicking or biting the enemies. The Knight Templar fought in many battles for many leaders throughout their history before final being declared heretics, and hunted down and either killed in battle, beheaded, or burned at the stake. This stunning sword bears the iron cross of the Knight Templar embedded in its hilt.

Pommel: The pommel almost always depicts a knight's head. This does not distinguish the sword as uniquely Templar as other fraternal swords such as the Knight's of Columbus depict a knight's head as well.

Grip: The grip on a Templar sword is sometimes black and sometimes ivory. Quite often it will depict the cross and crown emblem of the order. Some swords will display a stylized Christian cross while others a triangle and cross. Frequently Templar swords are engraved with the owner's initials on the grip.

Knuckle Guard: Templar sword knuckle guards typically depict the cross and crown but many of the M. C. Liley and Co. swords show a knight's head as shown in the diagram to the left.

Blade: The blade of the Templar sword is particularly ornate and will often depict crusader scenes and lily work. Virtually every Templar sword made in the last century and a half will carry the engraved name of its owner.
