Wielded with untamed ferocity on many a Gaelic battlefield, the massive Lowlander sword vividly illustrates the might of the Scots of old. Known as “Slaughter-Swords” in the 16th century, these were the swords of choice for Scottish mercenaries of the period, and at close to six feet long the Lowlander faithfully replicates a surviving museum piece. Though by far the largest sword ever offered by Hanwei, despite its great size, Paul Chen has created a beautifully proportioned and balanced Lowlander sword. The typically Scottish quatrefoils in the ring guards attest to the heritage of this imposing piece with both the guard and pommel made in low maintenance stainless steel with an antique finish.  The live blade also with the antique finish is crafted from 1566 carbon steel and heat treated for strength and durability making it capable of light to medium cutting. The grip is fashioned from timber and is leather covered with an overlaid leather binding. This sword like the originals does NOT come with a scabbard.  A wall mount is provided to allow the transplanted Gael to display his sword with pride.
