A Sword Fit For A King
By Adelia Ladson
The Meaning Behind A King’s Sword
A King’s Sword is a symbol of the greatness of his reign, based on its opulence, and a symbol of his royal and divine power and authority. It was used to knight warriors with a touch on each shoulder and a kiss on its blade by a subject of the realm sealed an oath that he had made. Sometimes, the king’s sword was handed-down from generation-to-generation or either buried with its owner. I’ve put together a list of swords that we have that are fit for a king!
Legends In Steel King Arthur’s Excalibur Sword
I’ll start with one of the most legendary, mythological swords in history. The Legends In Steel King Arthur’s Excalibur Sword is an impressive recreation of the kingmaking weapon of popular legend. It has a 31” mirror-polished, stainless steel blade that features laser-etched artwork that includes the Pendragon insignia. The richly designed crossguard and pommel are pewter-colored cast metal that has raised embellishments. The circular pommel also has the Pendragon insignia with the classic dragon. The handle grip is black ABS, and the high-quality sword is a full 40 1/2” in overall length.
King Solomon Sword
The King Solomon Sword would definitely represent the greatness of any king’s reign with its lavish, antiqued gold-plated hilt. The cast metal pommel and crossguard are decorated with Jewish symbols, featuring a Star of David and the Arc of the Covenant. There’s also laser-etched scroll-work on the stainless steel blade. The black handle grip is faux leather with gold-colored cast stainless spacers. Included with the 47” overall king’s sword is a wooden display plaque.
Lord of the Rings King Elessar Anduril Sword
I’ve saved the best for last! No king’s sword is more fit for a king than King Elessar’s Anduril Sword from the Lord of the Rings. In the popular trilogy from J.R.R. Tolkien, Anduril was forged from the shards of the sword Narsil, carried by Aragorn, the heir to the throne of Gondor. Aragorn used the sword against the forces of Sauron and assumed the name of Elessar once the final victory was won. The reproduction sword from United Cutlery was meticulously recreated from the actual filming prop that the actor used in the Lord of the Rings movie franchise. With close attention to detail as the top priority, the sword has 24K gold-plated accents on the hilt and a genuine, leather-wrapped grip. The 52” overall king’s sword has a double-tempered, stainless steel blade. Only United Cutely has the official licensing for this sword replica and you get a certificate of authenticity to assure you of its value.
