Most replica swords look like props. The Iron Oath Handmade Medieval Longsword does not. This is a full 36–39 inch hand-forged carbon steel longsword built with the details that serious collectors and history enthusiasts actually wan a high-polish blade, Celtic knotwork engraved cross-guard, long leather-wrapped grip, and a classic wheel pommel.
The blade is forged from carbon steel and finished to a bright high polish. A center fuller groove runs the length of the blade historically used to reduce weight while keeping blade strength. The result is a blade that looks and feels like a genuine medieval knight's sword.
The wide cross-guard is engraved with detailed Celtic and Norse knotwork patterns on both arms a design motif used on real medieval swords of the 12th–15th centuries. The natural tan leather-wrapped grip is long enough for a two-hand hold, and the round wheel pommel balances the blade perfectly for display or handling.

HISTORY OF THE MEDIEVAL LONGSWORD
The longsword emerged as the dominant sword design in medieval Europe between the 13th and 17th centuries. Unlike earlier single-hand swords, the longsword featured a longer grip that allowed both one-hand and two-hand use — earning it the alternative name "bastard sword" because it sat between a one-handed sword and a full two-handed great sword.
Knights and men-at-arms across England, France, Germany, and the Holy Roman Empire carried longswords as their primary blades. The Oakeshott typology a classification system developed by historian Ewart Oakeshott catalogued over 13 distinct longsword types based on blade shape, cross-guard style, and pommel design. The Iron Oath is inspired by the Type XVa profile: a long, slender, high-polish blade built for reach and precision.
Celtic and Norse knotwork on sword cross-guards was common among medieval smiths in Britain, Ireland, and Scandinavia. These engravings carried symbolic meaning — representing eternity, strength, and the interconnectedness of fate. Today, swords with this design are among the most sought-after by collectors of medieval historical replicas.
CARE INSTRUCTIONS
- Wipe blade clean and dry after each handling
- Apply light blade oil to carbon steel to prevent rust
- Polish cross-guard with a soft cloth to maintain finish

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What is a medieval longsword?
A medieval longsword is a straight, double-edged sword with a grip long enough for one or two hands. It was the primary sword of European knights and soldiers from the 13th to 17th centuries. The Iron Oath Medieval Longsword is a historically inspired replica of this classic design hand-forged carbon steel, Celtic engraved cross-guard, and a full 36–39 inch length.
Why is the longsword also called a bastard sword?
The term "bastard sword" comes from the sword's in-between size longer than a standard one-handed sword but shorter than a full two-handed great sword. It could be used comfortably with one or two hands, making it versatile on the battlefield. The Iron Oath features a long two-hand grip that reflects this classic bastard sword proportion.
How heavy is a real medieval longsword?
Most historical medieval longswords weighed between 2.5 and 4 pounds (1.1–1.8 kg). Despite their size, they were designed to be fast and well-balanced. The Iron Oath Medieval Longsword, with its 36–39 inch carbon steel blade and wheel pommel, is built with proper proportions that give it a balanced feel for display and handling.
What does the Celtic engraving on the cross-guard mean?
Celtic and Norse knotwork engravings were commonly used on medieval swords across Britain, Ireland, and Scandinavia. The interlocking patterns symbolized eternity, strength, and fate. Swords featuring this engraving style are historically accurate to the medieval period and are among the most popular designs with collectors of historical replica swords.
Is the Iron Oath Medieval Longsword good for display?
Yes. The high-polish carbon steel blade, ornate engraved cross-guard, and full 36–39 inch length make this one of the most visually impressive display swords available. It looks outstanding on a wall mount, display stand, or in a glass cabinet. It is also a popular gifting choice for history enthusiasts, collectors, and Renaissance fair fans.

6' 1" 225 lbs (formerly;-) athletic build
Size: XX-Large, Color: Burgundy, Size: XX-Large, Color: Burgundy
So I’m amending my review because I’ve now bought the black (as well as the red) suit.
The suit I got this time has a paper XXL large label; I want to remember the red suit having the same but now I honestly cannot remember. It came just in time for Halloween and fit almost perfectly so I feel I didn’t pay enough attention to detail. And now I don’t know what’s what?
My red pants (first purchase) measure about a 36” waist; my black pants (second purchase) measure about a 42” waist.
The bust on my red suit measures about 46” and the bust on my black suit measures about 48”.
Having said all that, here is my original review, which I believe is about a XL (not an XXL—which I believe would probably fit a 6’4” 260lb person); I’m not changing my words, just know from here forward XXL most likely refers to an XL (I’ll update my review when I get my next suit):
I bought a XXL and it fits almost perfectly.
I have a 46” bust and 36” waist and normally wear a tailored 42R and 36” waist x 30” inseam pants (so I normally can’t buy a suit off the rack where the pants aren’t a parachute).
The jacket could be taken in maybe a half an inch but this is for a costume; as I mentioned: I wear a 46L and be sleeves could similarly be let out a smidgen as well; the pants couldn’t have fit much better considering the mixed reviews and EXTREMELY VAGUE sizing chart—the waist could be taken in half an inch.
The material is a bit thin as others mentioned but on the whole it was a great purchase and I won’t have to do anything to utilize it for my costume.

Incredible Deal! I bought 2 full suits and absolutely love them!
Size: Medium, Color: Grey
Great looking suit! True to the American Size Chart! I got a lot of compliments the very first day of wearing it! I feel lucky, the Medium Fits like it was tailored! 5’11 (6’ with shoes on, ladies) 190lb. Stocky build. The stretchy waist band is a game changer fellas! Love that! Just like in the video they’re very fun to dance in! The Medium is a lil snug in areas for me but I am currently dieting etc, so if you don’t wanna worry I’m sure the next size up for you fits just as good and will have more breathing room for your arm muscles, thighs, mid section etc as the entire material itself is not stretchy, just the waistband which is incredible!. Overall these are a GREAT score at an amazing price! Perfect for that special occasion or for upgraded business attire! Great Quality! Great Value! and You’ll feel great about yourself in these when you find your faves!

Packaged in aWrinkled Ball and Bad Sizing
Size: X-Large, Color: Black
I've tried 3 of these suits, 2 different sizes, and each one fits differently. Each one has also been crinkled up and wrinkled each time I opened it. I wouldn't be surprised if it was returned and sent right back out without inspection.
Other reviews noted order a size up. I have a size 34 waist and normally order Large, so I ordered an XL. XL barely can be zippered up. So I returned it. Ordered and XXL. XXL is about 6 inches way too big and took 2 weeks to arrive. So I order and XL again, and once again, way too small, but still bigger than the first..
There is no tag on the pants, only the jacket, so I think someone screwed up the sizing or matching the jacket with the pants.
Total waste of time with 3 returns. Label your products right and get your sizing chart right. There should not be an 8 inch difference between XL and XXL. Got another trip out to UPS, thanks...

Hubby looks good in it!
Size: Large, Color: Black, Size: Large, Color: Black
This suit is very nice! But it doesn’t have the pockets we were expecting. The left chest pocket is sewn shut along with the outside pockets. It doesn’t have 1 or 2 pockets inside the jacket. Hubby looks good in it!
