Product description
A claymore, or "great sword," is the Scottish version of the late medieval two-handed longsword. It is distinct for its cross hilt with forward-sloping quillons that end in quatrefoil shapes. The claymore was in use from the 15th to the 17th centuries.
Jacob I of Scotland (1394 – 1437) was crowned king in 1424 at Scone. After overcoming the Albany clan, who had conspired against him during his childhood, he worked to reduce the power of the feudal lords. During his reign, he codified Scottish laws and established a standardized system of weights and measures. Known for his talent as a poet, Jacob I was eventually assassinated by Sir Robert Graham in a conspiracy. Due to his bravery in battle and strong leadership, he was given the title "The Lion of Scotland."

Prevent rust and corrosion by oiling your weapons regularly. Remove rust easily with black sandpaper. Remove burrs with a whetstone. Make sure you have removed all burrs before using a battle-ready weapon, as they can cause wounds.
Tip: How to adjust the finish of your armour and weaponry
Luxurious (polished)- polish the steel with metal polish or toothpaste. You can even give the item a mirror-like polish. Test on a small surface first!
Handmade (matte)- soak the steel in cola for 40 minutes to 20 hours. Check regularly and treat with black sandpaper.
Antique (patinated) leave the steel to rust for some time in a damp environment, preferably outside. Remove the red layer of rust, to reveal the corroded top layer.
