The Claymore was the mainstay of the Highland warriors during the late 15th and 16th centuries. This sword had a uniquely styled hilt that set it apart from other great swords of the period. Typical of longsword length, this versatile weapon could deliver great sweeping slashes or powerful thrusts.
Many reproductions of the Scottish Claymore tend to be bulky, clunky, and out of balance compared to the originals. CAS proudly presents this refined version of the popular and distinguishable sword - the Kingston Arms Scottish Claymore. Classic in its design, it has distinctive sloping quillons terminating in quatrefoils and a high-collared quillon block with langets following the blade fuller. The slim grip of the Claymore is leather-covered. The pommel of this Kingston Arms Scottish Claymore is in proportion, making it more consistent with historical pieces.
