This is a full 36–39 inch hand-forged carbon steel longsword built with the details that serious collectors and history enthusiasts actually wan a high-polish blade, Celtic knotwork engraved cross-guard, long leather-wrapped grip, and a classic wheel pommel.
The blade is forged from carbon steel and finished to a bright high polish. A center fuller groove runs the length of the blade historically used to reduce weight while keeping blade strength. The result is a blade that looks and feels like a genuine medieval knight's sword.
The wide cross-guard is engraved with detailed Celtic and Norse knotwork patterns on both arms a design motif used on real medieval swords of the 12th–15th centuries. The natural tan leather-wrapped grip is long enough for a two-hand hold, and the round wheel pommel balances the blade perfectly for display or handling.

HISTORY OF THE MEDIEVAL LONGSWORD

The longsword emerged as the dominant sword design in medieval Europe between the 13th and 17th centuries. Unlike earlier single-hand swords, the longsword featured a longer grip that allowed both one-hand and two-hand use — earning it the alternative name "bastard sword" because it sat between a one-handed sword and a full two-handed great sword.
Knights and men-at-arms across England, France, Germany, and the Holy Roman Empire carried longswords as their primary blades. The Oakeshott typology a classification system developed by historian Ewart Oakeshott catalogued over 13 distinct longsword types based on blade shape, cross-guard style, and pommel design. The Iron Oath is inspired by the Type XVa profile: a long, slender, high-polish blade built for reach and precision.
Celtic and Norse knotwork on sword cross-guards was common among medieval smiths in Britain, Ireland, and Scandinavia. These engravings carried symbolic meaning — representing eternity, strength, and the interconnectedness of fate. Today, swords with this design are among the most sought-after by collectors of medieval historical replicas.

CARE INSTRUCTIONS

  • Apply light blade oil to carbon steel to prevent rust
  • Polish cross-guard with a soft cloth to maintain finish

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What is a medieval longsword?
A medieval longsword is a straight, double-edged sword with a grip long enough for one or two hands. It was the primary sword of European knights and soldiers from the 13th to 17th centuries. The Iron Oath Medieval Longsword is a historically inspired replica of this classic design hand-forged carbon steel, Celtic engraved cross-guard, and a full 36–39 inch length.
Why is the longsword also called a bastard sword?
The term "bastard sword" comes from the sword's in-between size longer than a standard one-handed sword but shorter than a full two-handed great sword. It could be used comfortably with one or two hands, making it versatile on the battlefield. The Iron Oath features a long two-hand grip that reflects this classic bastard sword proportion.
How heavy is a real medieval longsword?
Most historical medieval longswords weighed between 2.5 and 4 pounds (1.1–1.8 kg). Despite their size, they were designed to be fast and well-balanced. The Iron Oath Medieval Longsword, with its 36–39 inch carbon steel blade and wheel pommel, is built with proper proportions that give it a balanced feel for display and handling.
What does the Celtic engraving on the cross-guard mean?
Celtic and Norse knotwork engravings were commonly used on medieval swords across Britain, Ireland, and Scandinavia. The interlocking patterns symbolized eternity, strength, and fate. Swords featuring this engraving style are historically accurate to the medieval period and are among the most popular designs with collectors of historical replica swords.
Is the Iron Oath Medieval Longsword good for display?
Yes. The high-polish carbon steel blade, ornate engraved cross-guard, and full 36–39 inch length make this one of the most visually impressive display swords available. It looks outstanding on a wall mount, display stand, or in a glass cabinet. It is also a popular gifting choice for history enthusiasts, collectors, and Renaissance fair fans.

Really nice shelves well-made
Size: 30 Inch, Color: Walnut, Size: 30 Inch, Color: Walnut
I recently installed a set of floating wooden shelves above my kitchen sink, and they have completely transformed the space. The natural wood grain adds warmth and character, making my kitchen feel more open and inviting. The shelves are sturdy and well-made, supporting everything from dishware to small plants and decorative items without any sagging. Installation was straightforward, with the included hardware making it easy to mount them securely. I was pleasantly surprised by how well they hold weight while maintaining a sleek, minimalistic look. The floating design gives a clean, uncluttered aesthetic, which is exactly what I was looking for. Functionally, they’ve made a huge difference. I can now keep everyday essentials like mugs and spices within easy reach while freeing up valuable counter space. They’re also a great alternative to upper cabinets, preventing the area above my sink from feeling closed in. Overall, these floating wooden shelves are both practical and stylish. Whether you’re looking to add storage or just enhance your kitchen’s design, they’re a fantastic option. I highly recommend them for anyone wanting a simple yet impactful upgrade to their space!

Look nice, not sturdy or supportive
Size: 17 Inch, Color: Dark Blue
The color and thickness of the shelf is great. Very easy to install. But the wall mount portion is cheaply made and doesn’t support the shelf as well as it should. Once mounted the shelf leans forward and isn’t sturdy. After mounting, I found my items had slid off end up on the floor.

Solid Floating Shelves 🛠️🏠
Color: Black, Number Of Shelves: 4, Size: 15.7in
I have installed four sets of the black floating shelves in my office. They are made of high quality materials, featuring a sophisticated black woodgrain finish with a natural texture. Supposedly, each unit can handle up to 22 pounds, though I would not recommend testing that limit with your vintage bowling ball collection if you value your flooring. They are awesome. The value is good for a set of two. Each shelf measures 22x7x1 (56x17x3 cm) inches, providing a decent amount of storage for books or decor. The installation was straightforward since the hardware for multiple wall types was included. They work well in the kitchen for spices or in the bedroom for personal belongings. One tip for a secure fit: use a level during installation and make sure the bracket is flush against the wall before sliding the shelf on, or your photos might look like they are sliding off a mountain 📐 These shelves offer a clean, modern look and stay stable once mounted correctly. They are a practical choice for adding functional display space to any room 🖼️

Good looking shelves and easy install - skip the included drywall anchors
Color: Black, Number Of Shelves: 2, Size: 22in
I installed these shelves in a bedroom to get things off my dresser and some decor. Once mounted they look really nice. The black finish looks clean and modern and they blend in well with the room. Installation was pretty straightforward. The metal bracket mounts to the wall first and then the shelf slides over the bracket. As long as you take your time lining things up it’s a simple project. One thing I strongly recommend is not using the white plastic self-drilling drywall anchors that come with the kit. I’ve used that style before on other projects and they tend to strip out easily and leave larger holes in drywall. I used better anchors instead and the shelves mounted much more securely. The rest of the hardware worked fine and once installed the shelves feel solid and hold items well. Pros - Clean modern look - Easy installation - Feels solid once mounted - Good size for books or decor Cons - The small level included isn’t very accurate — use your own level - One of the metal brackets was slightly bent out of the box but straightened out easily Helpful tip: Use your own level and better drywall anchors if you have them. It makes installation easier and the shelves will mount much more securely. Final thoughts: For the price these are nice looking floating shelves that install easily and work well for light storage and decor.
