Sir Lancelot Sword Medieval Knight Replica

Sir Lancelot Sword Replica for Arthurian Collectors

Gilt knotwork runs across the crossguard of this Sir Lancelot sword replica, and a lion’s head caps the pommel. Lancelot du Lac is the greatest knight of the Round Table, and the one whose affair with Guinevere brings Camelot down. The blade carries a full-length fuller down its centre.

420 stainless steel forms the blade, with leather and spiralled gold wire on the grip. Arthurian collectors and medieval re-enactors buy this one most. It suits a study wall, a hallway, or a display beside a shield. Our Medieval Swords range includes more knightly pieces. Order yours today.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the groove down the middle of the blade for?

That is a fuller. Smiths grind it into a blade to remove weight without losing stiffness. Nearly every medieval European sword has one. On a replica, it also carries the light along the whole length.

Is the blade sharp?

No. The edge is blunt, and it comes that way deliberately. This is a display and collection piece.

Did Lancelot’s sword have a name?

Later Arthurian romances call it Arondight, though the name never settles the way Excalibur does. Lancelot himself first appears in Chrétien de Troyes around the 1170s, long before the sword picks up a name.

Would this suit someone into Arthurian legend?

Lancelot is the knight everyone knows by name, so it lands with anyone who has read Malory. The gilt knotwork and lion pommel make it look the part on a shelf too.

Could this work as a wedding or anniversary gift?

Engrave a date or initials and it works well, and Arthurian themes suit a wedding better than most. Allow extra time if you want the engraving done before the day.

Are these accurate to a real medieval sword?

The profile follows a single-hand arming sword, which is the right shape for the period. The decoration is romantic rather than archaeological. Nobody in the twelfth century had gilt knotwork and a lion pommel like this.
