Product description
This claymore is a replica of a 17th century original that was used in the Scottish Highlands. Nowadays it is part of the collection of the Kelvingrove Museum in Glasgow. Claymore, or claidheamh-mór literally means "large sword" in Gaelic. The blades of these large swords were usually made in Germany and exported to Scotland. The Claymore was especially an effective weapon against pikes. The V shaped cross-guard redirects the blows of pikes.

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.
Please note. After finishing the product yourself, the warranty and return right expire. Celtic WebMerchant is not responsible for the obtained result.
