IBELIN - KINGDOM OF HEAVEN SWORD Windlass Steelcrafts
The amazing sword of Godfrey (Liam Neeson) that is passed down to Balian (Orlando Bloom) for their Holy quest. Measuring 45 inches overall, the Sword of Ibelin features a 36 inch fullered blade, with pommel and crossguard plated in a rich sterling silver. The most unique aspect of this piece, the translucent red cross imbedded in the pommel has been expertly replicated from the movie prop. The ergonomic hardwood grip features both leather and brass wire accents.
The long and wide fuller on this blade lightens the overall sword and make it possible to deliver fast and shearing cuts, capable of cutting through the mail and padding that were worn during the period. The long guard offers good protection from an opponent's shield or blade, while the classic wheel pommel brings the sword very nicely into balance.
This fully functional Kingdom of Heaven replica movie sword made by Windlass Steelcrafts features a heat treated fully tempered 1065 High carbon Steel Blade. The dual-edged blade comes factory dull allowing light or fine sharpening to personal specification. (We offer sharpening services for an additional fee)

What is a "battle ready" or "functional" sword? Basically, they are hand-forged fully functional blades made of tempered high-carbon steel (versus stainless steel used in most decorator swords) and often they are given factory sharp edges "ready" for use; high carbon steel is generally used to make the blades, and other more durable materials are used for the guard, pommel and grips, making them stronger and much less affected by the rigors encountered in training, practice sword jousting, and live re-enactments. Functional blades are used in Medieval Renaissance fairs and shows for fencing and simulated battles and edges may be more often preferably dulled for safety. High-carbon steel is the strongest material used in blade manufacturing and is the material of choice for battle ready swords replicating the field standards and capabilities of swords and weapons physically used throughout history.
Swords classified as "decorative swords" have blades that gleam or shine and are made of stainless steel requiring little care or maintenance to maintain a strictly esthetic appeal. Although beautiful and easy to care for, anything made of stainless steel can not be classified as "battle ready" but must be classified as decorative. Decorative Swords and weapons are popular for home and office decor, award and ceremonial use, personal gifts, costumes, movie props and theatre use where forceful impacts are not required.
If you are looking for a battle ready or functional sword that will endure punishment of cutting and contact with hard surfaces, a note to remember is: Real swords blades are ALWAYS made from Carbon Steel which is better suited for keeping an edge and less likely to break upon contact. The quality of the materials used in the guard, pommel and grip are of equal importance. A great high carbon steel blade with a pot metal or inferior guard, tang, or grip is NOT functional nor safe for use; such a sword must never be used for forceful contact or cutting, and must be classified "decorative", for display use only.
