Description

The Sword of England's Greatest Knight.

A masterpiece in folded steel.

Forged for history.

Built for collectors.

The Hanwei Knightly Sword – Folded Steel Blade is one of the finest historical reproductions ever produced by Paul Chen, faithfully inspired by the legendary sword of Sir William Marshal—widely regarded as the greatest knight of medieval England. Serving with distinction under Henry II, Richard the Lionheart and King John (Lackland), William Marshal became the very embodiment of chivalry, loyalty and battlefield excellence.

Based on an original preserved in a British museum, this exceptional reproduction raises the standard for medieval sword craftsmanship. At its heart lies a breathtaking forged folded Swedish powder steel blade, creating a stunning Damascus finish that showcases the intricate patterning born from the folding process.

Forged from premium K120C carbon steel and tempered to approximately HRC 54, the 33.25-inch blade combines resilience with superb cutting performance. A carefully executed full-length distal taper and central ridged fuller reduce weight while preserving exceptional strength, resulting in a sword with outstanding speed, balance and handling—hallmarks of Paul Chen's masterful design.

The leather-wrapped and laced grip is complemented by a traditionally elegant crossguard and pommel, reflecting the understated beauty of authentic medieval weapons. Completing this museum-quality reproduction is a leather-covered scabbard with polished steel fittings.

Now discontinued, the Knightly Sword has become one of Hanwei's most sought-after collector's pieces, prized for its historical significance, folded steel craftsmanship and exceptional performance.

The sword of a legend.

Crafted to become one.
