Own the Legend.\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Knights Templar carried a motto into every battle: \u003cem\u003eChristus Vincit\u003c\/em\u003e — 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eComplete Specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eFeature\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eDetail\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBlade Material\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eStainless Steel\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBlade Style\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDouble-Edged Accolade Sword Blade\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBlade Finish\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePolished Mirror Finish\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBlade Feature\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCHRISTUS VINCIT Latin Engraving + Templar Cross Etching + Central Fuller\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBlade Length\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eApprox. 28 inches\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eApprox. 38 inches\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHandle Length\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eApprox. 10 inches\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHandle Material\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBrown Leather Wrapped Diamond Pattern Grip\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCrossguard\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCurved Crescent Stainless Steel with Latin Engraving\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePommel\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRound Silver Medallion with Templar Cross Seal\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eScabbard\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDark Brown Leather with Gold Templar Cross Emblems, Brass Rivets \u0026amp; Belt Straps\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eApprox. 5 lbs\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\u003ch2\u003ePerfect For\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eSword Collecting | Display \u0026amp; Wall Mounting | Medieval History Enthusiasts | Gift for Him | Christmas Gift | Birthday Gift | Home Decor | Historical Reenactment | Templar History Collectors\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStainless steel double-edged Accolade sword blade with polished mirror finish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCHRISTUS VINCIT Latin inscription engraved on the blade\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTemplar cross etching on blade surface\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCentral fuller running the full length of the blade\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCurved crescent stainless steel crossguard with engraving\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrown leather wrapped diamond pattern grip handle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRound silver medallion pommel with Templar cross seal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDark brown leather scabbard with three gold Templar cross emblems\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrass rivets and wrap-around belt straps on scabbard\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eThe Blade\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 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.
