Historically, the claymore and the basket-hilted broadsword are the two most celebrated Scottish and Celtic swords. The claymore was a big medieval sword that was used well into the Renaissance period; it was most effective when wielded with two hands. The basket-hilted broadsword was used from the 16th century onwards. This sword was lighter and more versatile in battle; its importance to the clans was underlined when firearms entered the fray and made armor and the claymore somewhat ineffective. Basket-hilted broadswords were essential for the clansmen and one of their favorite fighting styles was a broadsword in one hand and shield (targe) on the other. Later on, the Scottish military was issued with a similar sword called the backsword, as only one side of the blade was sharpened.
Museum Replicas offers a broad range of Scottish and Celtic weapons including claymores, basket-hilted swords, and short swords. Two of the blades in this excellent selection are inspired by iconic figures in Scottish history – William Wallace and Robert the Bruce. All weapons are crafted of top-grade material by the finest craftsmen in the field. The details are exquisite and on point and the swords do justice to Scotland’s glorious past. Browse through our collection, pick one (or more) of these classics and let loose the Highlander in you!

Review of: Sword of Robert the Bruce
As seen in the film Robert the Bruce.
This sword is really massive. Solid and well made. It takes two hands to wield it and the heart of a warrior. The scabbard is also perfect, beautiful and well decorated. The set also comes with a sheath belt, which is always a plus for months. I love the look it gives.

Review of: Claymore by Paul Chen / Hanwei
I got the ''antiqued version'' of this sword. So basicly the same sword with different colors.
It look really nice. It's big, it's tough, and it's well made enough for me to do some stupid things with it that would damage and detract from other swords. If you're looking for a sword that's on the graceful side you can do more advanced HEMA techniques with, I wouldn't advise this one. But if you just want something that makes you feel like a total badass and can smash into things as well as you can cut them, or a fun project sword to customize? I can definitely recommend a Hanwei Claymore! Impressive as well

Review of: Scottish Basket-Hilt Broadsword
Having Scottish blood, I had to have this Basket-Hilt Broadsword! The blade came as sharp as a razor, the basket is beautifully cut out, and the hilt is firmly connected to the blade. The flocked red basket liner and tassel set off the blued steel beautifully. Paired with a targe and dirk, it make quite an authentic and potent combination. The grip is covered in ray skin and wrapped with wire, and the scabbard is leather covered and well put together. I would proudly wear this at any Highland Games or Celtic Festival.

Review of: Claymore by Paul Chen / Hanwei
My hopes weren't TOO high at this price point, but I was very impressed. The sword is very well put together with good attention to detail. This is a heavy claymore that's quite front heavy, so go easy. This is a brutal weapon, not one of finesse, in spite of it's quite attractive looks.

Review of: Claymore by Paul Chen / Hanwei
An excellent weapon. At first I was daunted that there were no reviews but upon further research I found nothing but positive reviews. The blade is surprisingly thick and from what I have seen can take quite the beating. It is just flexible enough not to break, but if you don’t prefer your swords being flexible, it is also very sturdy. I haven’t seen any time where it bent other than when I was actively trying, which took a lot of effort! It has a beautiful design, if a bit simple, but I think that adds to the authenticity and overall longevity. If you were also looking at the antiqued varient, I would warn that it is only a finish, so if you sharpen or maintenance the blade it will rub off. I think this blade is an impressive height, and just about the longest you can go without looking gaudy. I was glad that I bought this sword and not a longer one, because I think it approaches the upper range regarding the ability to actually use it properly. It’s weight is not to be underestimated, and it’s balance is perfect for its use. My only warning is... learn how to properly swing it! If you think you know how, think again! I hurt my shoulder with a bad swing, but that user error could have easily been avoided by reading a couple of paragraphs!

I love the look of this sword when I first saw it on here and had to have it, the sword itself feels good in the hand, it’s a little top heavy but it still works. Highly recommend this sword

Review of: Sword of Robert the Bruce
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.
