Hanwei Claymore Lowlander Sword – 16th century “Slaughter Sword”

There are three types of Scottish two-handed swords that emerged around the 16th century. Out of all three, the Lowlander sword, also known as the Lowland Claymore or Slaughter Sword is the largest and heaviest of all, with most surviving examples measuring over five feet in length. With its broad and double edged blade, it is designed primarily for cutting and thrusting.

Staying true to specifications, Hanwei's Lowlander Sword faithfully replicates a surviving museum piece, making it almost six feet long. Despite being Hanwei's largest sword, it is a fully functional, beautifully proportioned, and balanced piece forged from 1566 high carbon steel, ensuring a tough blade that holds its edge remarkably well.

In line with its design, it is equipped with typical Scottish quatrefoils in the ring guards and leather covered grips with an overlaid leather binding. This sword also comes with a wall mount that allows the sword to be displayed. An antique finished version (SH2065N) of this sword is also available.
