The Scottish Claymore Sword, better known as the great sword of the Highlands, was used in the constant clan warfare and border fights with the English from 1500 to 1650 and still in use as late as the Rebellion of 1745, the two-handed Claymore seems to be an offshoot of earlier broadswords as they were developed into great swords. Widely feared because its lightness made it faster in combat than its European counterparts, the Scottish Claymore Sword developed a distinctive style of cross guard with down-sloping arms that ended in spatulate swellings. It is noted that most Scottish edged weapons featured cross guards, baskets, and pommels made of brass, rather than steel, probably because of the damp weather of the area, which would cause steel to rust and deteriorate much more rapidly than brass.

Our version of the Scottish Claymore Sword has an overall length of 52 inches and a 39 inch hand polished stainless steel blade with a blood groove down both sides of the blade. The detailed hilt is done in a traditional design, and the handle is made from genuine hardwood and it is accompanied with a leather sheath.
