Rising fifty inches from crossguard to pommel, this massive expanse of bright steel demands two hands and an unbroken spirit. The worn brown leather wrap sings of rain-swept Highlands where clans once gathered under gray skies. It is a sorrowful monument to forgotten borders, waiting for a champion strong enough to bear its weight.
About this piece
Scottish Claymore is a sword carried by Warborn Blades, a licensed United States dealer of swords. It measures 50in overall as stated by the forge, and it ships from the house's own walls rather than a drop-shipper's warehouse.
The blade is Stainless Steel Blade, Stainless Steel Pommel. Stainless forgives neglect — it resists corrosion in a damp pack, a boat or a kitchen sink — at the cost of being slower to bring back to a keen edge.
Fittings and furniture: Leather (Brown). The fittings are where a piece is honest or is not — a guard, a pommel and a grip that are fitted tight will not shift under work.
Long arms are judged by carry and by intent rather than by a blade ceiling in most provinces. Transport this piece cased, and read your own state's law before you carry it in public.
Knife laws by state — free, all fifty and the District.
Why the house stands behind this one
The wall piece people actually stop and look at: fifty inches of Highland two-hander.
- Fifty inches overall, crossguard to pommel — it fills a wall the way a small sword never will.
- Stainless blade and stainless pommel, brown leather wrap.
- The showpiece of the whole house, and priced as the one great piece a collector buys once.
Plainly — This is a display and costume claymore, not a sparring or cutting sword. Do not swing it at targets and do not put it in a fighting line. If you want steel for the field, the house will point you elsewhere and lose the sale gladly.
“Hold it level and it will tell you how long a man's arm truly is.”— the Lady, quietly

The Trial of the Blade
Swing it before you own it. This exact piece — its reach, its weight, its steel — is put in a fitting hand and set against a living foe for three exchanges. What you feel is what you would carry.
The Tale of the Blade
What it is built for
This piece is built for the line — reach, leverage, and a cut delivered from distance.
The lineage of its steel — Stainless Steel Blade, Stainless Steel Pommel
Stainless steel. Chromium in the alloy resists rust rather than defeating it. It is forgiving of neglect and slightly stubborn on the stone — sharpen it patiently and it repays you.

The line fighter
One who wants length in the hand: re-enactors, cutters, collectors of the martial pattern, and anyone who means to hang honest steel where a wall-hanger used to be.
Keeping it alive
Dry it, oil it, store it out of the sheath for the long keep, and sharpen it before it is blunt rather than after. The house gives the whole method away for nothing.
The Upkeep Writ — free →The road it walked to this wall
1. Forged at the maker's fire
The piece is made by the forge that makes it — we do not pretend to have hammered it.
2. Received and looked over by the house
It comes into our walls and is checked before it is ever offered.
3. Sealed with the Seal of Provenance
The house records what it knows about the piece — and refuses to claim what it cannot prove.
4. Sent out from the house's own walls
It ships from us, with the record travelling beside it.
These four stations are the house’s standing doctrine for every piece it carries, not a tracking record of this one blade. Where the house cannot prove a claim, it strikes the claim rather than dressing it up.
The voice of the steel
Every piece in this house has one true note, and it is not a recording. Scottish Claymore is 50″ of stainless steel blade, stainless steel pommel, and a bar of that length and that temper rings at about 86 hertz — low and long, clean. Strike it and hear the piece itself.

The Blood Ledger
01The Pattern
Long steel is not a tool that grew into a weapon. It was a weapon first and never pretended otherwise. It cannot butcher well, it cannot clear brush well, it cannot split wood at all. It has exactly one competence, and centuries of men paid for the privilege of holding it anyway.
02The Making
Working stainless — Stainless Steel Blade, Stainless Steel Pommel. It forgives neglect, damp air, blood left too long on the blade. It gives up a little keenness in exchange, which is a trade most who carry daily are glad to make.
03The Carry
At 50 inches this is a two-hand or full-arm proposition. It does not ride on a belt through a doorway. It is mounted, cased, or carried openly, and carrying it openly is a statement in every jurisdiction on earth. Know your law before it leaves the wall.
04The Reckoning
This is not decoration that happens to be sharp. It is a sharp thing that happens to be beautiful. Keep the order of those words.

What it leaves open
Swung honestly, it is slow off the hip. No piece covers every yard of ground — that is why no one ever carried only one. Beside it the house would hang something quick enough to answer while it is still coming back.
