Scottish & Celtic Swords

This sword is very much worth the price, its very well constructed and I don't think it'll ever break or come loose. Considering there's not really anywhere else to get something like this its very well done. Blade is well shaped and has a thick spine. The squared off  handle is not an issue if you wear gauntlets or gloves with it.

This sword is impressive. I received this as a Christmas gift. I was and still am blown away.

It greatly exceeded my expectations. I handled the braveheart claymore previously. The leather was a brighter tan color. The blade stock seemed thinner.

This freedom fighter version has a lovely darker leather on the handle and ricasso. The pommel and cross guard also seem antiqued in person. The combined affect is one of gorgeous class.

The sword was sharpened by mrl,  and is a calvary dicing razor. I have not cut with it yet,  but I can update the review if possible once I try it on the pill,  bottles, etc.

It's a heavy sword,  obviously,  and stats list point of balance out at 11 inches. There is historical precedence for this sword,  it's just not historically called a claymore. Point of balance probably should be more around 5 or 6, maybe even 7 inches from crossguard.

11 is a bit far comparing to other examples of this sword. However,  I am able to wield this in one hand. It is more comfortable with two hands.  It excels and I believe was designed by windlass to use one hand on grip and one on the leather wrapped ricasso.

In this fashion you can "half sword" and really make this blade move! This is how I have been practicing forms with it. A horse killing sword when swung from the grip. Half swording in the crush of battle. The balance falls to the handle on the ricasso.

Again,  I can say enough how beautiful this replica is. Tight fitting, well constructed with a good temper. The blade is flexible but plenty rigid.

Windlass has done very well and the details on the cross guard and pommel are exquisite.

I cannot express how impressed I am with this sword. The quality and beauty of this weapon was everything I had hoped for and more. It is well balanced as a combat blade and simply exquisite as a display piece. I purchased it as a gift for my son, sharpened and engraved and has quickly become his most prized possession. I could not be happier with my purchase!

I bought this sword as the deal of the day so the price was fantastic!  The sword itself is fairly nice for the price and has a good feel in the hand.  I wish it was peened but so far I have had zero problems.  

Beautifully constructed!  Quick, sharp and deadly!  This is an outrageously awesome sword.  It literally sings in the hand and moves with the speed of light.  Buy it!!!!

I was very pleased when I received the sword.  It was much better than I expected and will be pleased to display with my collection.

This sword is extremely beautiful. Its quality is far better than I expected for the price. I bought it as a gift for my son-in-law and my husband is jealous and wants me to get him one.

Wonderful sword! It's a bit whippy, but not nearly as bad as some of their other larger swords. The appearance is fantastic, and very well made. One of my favorites hands down.

I have looked into basket hilts for a while. I considered the Eglinton, the Brass Basket from MR, and the Cold Steel basket hilts. I decided on this Eglinton and consider this a very fine sword. It is single edged (knuckle side), well balanced, and with a large enough grip for a big man to hold and wield. The blade is thicker than the photos convey, a positive. The hardware fits snug and the wire wrap over ray skin is a sure grip. I like the scabbard also - good fit and well made. Both me and a friend from fencing club bought this sword independently and were each equally impressed enough that we each brought it in to show the other.

It is a wonderful sword. Keep up the good work!
