Carry the Motto. Own the Legend.
The Knights Templar carried a motto into every battle: Christus Vincit — Christ Conquers. That motto is engraved on this blade. The Faithkeeper is a handmade replica of the classic Templar Accolade sword — the sword used in the ceremony of knighthood, where a blade was laid on the shoulder of a new knight. The stainless steel blade is double-edged with a central fuller and the full Latin inscription running the length of the blade. The curved crescent crossguard, brown leather wrapped grip, and round silver medallion pommel with Templar cross seal are faithful to the historical design. The dark brown leather scabbard carries three gold Templar cross emblems and wrap-around belt straps. A collector piece built to display, to carry, and to pass down.

The Blade
The blade is ground from stainless steel with a polished mirror finish and a central fuller running the full length — a design feature that reduces blade weight while maintaining strength and stiffness. The CHRISTUS VINCIT inscription is engraved directly into the steel, along with a Templar cross etching on the blade flat. The double-edged profile is faithful to the historical Accolade sword design used in medieval knighting ceremonies.
The Handle & Pommel
The brown leather wrapped grip features a diamond cross-wrap pattern that provides a secure, comfortable two-handed grip. The curved crescent crossguard is stainless steel with Latin engraving. The round silver medallion pommel features a deeply engraved Templar cross seal — the same symbol carried by the Knights Templar into the Crusades. Every detail of the handle assembly is faithful to the historical design.
The Scabbard
The dark brown leather scabbard is shaped to fit the full length of the Accolade blade securely. Three gold Templar cross emblems are embossed on the scabbard surface. Brass rivets secure the leather construction. Wrap-around belt straps with buckles allow the scabbard to be worn or displayed. A scabbard as detailed as the sword it holds.
