15th Century Xiphos Sword

The 15th Century Xiphos Sword is a faithful replica of one of history’s most iconic warrior weapons. The Xiphos, carried by Greek hoplites and later admired by Norse traders who encountered it in distant lands, was renowned for its leaf-shaped double-edged blade—designed for swift, decisive strikes in battle. Forged with high carbon steel, this modern replica captures the same balance, speed, and strength that made the Xiphos a blade of choice in close combat. Its blade has been carefully water-tempered for resilience, while the full tang handle, wrapped with leather rope over a carved wooden grip, ensures control and durability. The steel guard and pommel provide balance and add to the historical authenticity. Housed in a cottonwood core scabbard covered in leather, this sword is both a formidable weapon and a collector’s masterpiece. Every blade carries its own unique spirit, and this one—shaped by fire and hammer—honors the warriors who once marched beneath the banners of gods and kings.
