Deepeeka 12th Century Crusader Knight Sword with Leather Scabbard
This 12th Century Holy Land Crusading Knight’s Sword is full of medieval character and built with the look and feel of a serious knightly weapon. Its long, straight blade is forged from well-tempered C60 high carbon steel, offering the reach needed for use from horseback or on foot behind a large shield.
The sword features a classic cruciform hilt with a mild steel crossguard and faceted pommel. The wooden grip is tightly wrapped in stitched, high-quality leather, giving the sword a firm and traditional hand feel. For strength, the thick tang is peened over the pommel, creating a secure construction suited for a battle-ready reproduction.
Included with the sword is a handsome scabbard made from genuine leather over a wooden core. A carved wooden scabbard slide is bound to the scabbard with cord, allowing the sword to be worn from a baldric or belt. The scabbard’s rich leather finish complements the grip and gives the piece an authentic crusading knight appearance.
Whether you are a medieval collector, reenactor, Crusader history enthusiast, or looking for a sword to complete a knightly display, this sword offers a strong combination of historical style, practical construction, and visual appeal.

During the 12th century, the sword remained one of the defining weapons of the medieval knight. In the age of the Crusades, European warriors traveled great distances to the Holy Land, Outremer, the Crusader States, and Jerusalem. A reliable sword was more than a weapon; it was a symbol of rank, duty, faith, and martial identity.
The typical knightly sword of this period featured a straight double-edged blade, a simple crossguard, and a one-handed grip designed to be used with a shield. These swords were suited to both cutting and thrusting, making them practical for mounted combat as well as foot combat. Their straightforward cruciform design also carried strong religious symbolism for many Christian warriors of the period.
This Deepeeka reproduction captures the form of a 12th century Crusader sidearm, with its long blade, sturdy steel fittings, leather grip, and traditional scabbard suspension system.
The Deepeeka 12th Century Crusader Knight Sword is a striking reproduction of a medieval warrior’s sidearm. With its C60 high carbon steel blade, peened construction, leather-wrapped grip, and genuine leather-over-wood scabbard, this sword makes an excellent choice for Crusader collectors, medieval reenactors, living history displays, and anyone seeking a classic knightly sword with strong historical presence.
