SWM-0413 Swordier Christ Jesus Longsword

A Blade of Faith, Sacrifice, and Divine Protection

Historical Inspiration

Inspired by the legendary Christ longsword preserved at Sandomierz Cathedral, Poland, this sword revives a sacred weapon from the 15th century, when faith and warfare were inseparable. In turbulent medieval Poland, such swords were not merely arms of war, but holy relics, symbols of authority, and spiritual anchors for those who believed victory and survival depended on divine favor.

Swordier’s recreation honors this tradition, presenting a blade that embodies the late medieval Christian reflection on power, faith, and redemption.

Symbolism & Design Features

Every element of this sword is crafted with profound religious meaning:

✝️ Winged Crossguard — Represents the Holy Cross and divine protection, guiding and sheltering the faithful in battle.

Brass Crucifix Inlay — Depicts Christ’s Crucifixion, proclaiming that “victory is born of sacrifice.”

🙏 Praying Hands Pommel — A reminder that “force must remain humble before God,” and strength is gained through prayer.

⚔️ Battlefield Blade Profile — Declares that “the world remains in struggle,” reflecting the reality of conflict in medieval Christendom.

Together, these features express a spiritual journey: through sacrifice, guided by faith, strengthened by prayer, one stands to defend divine truth.

Performance & Handling

Despite its rich symbolism, this is no mere decorative piece. The Swordier Christ Jesus Longsword is built as a true battlefield-style weapon:

The manganese steel blade offers durability and resilience, suitable for cutting practice and display.

A point of balance 7 cm (2.76 in) from the guard provides authoritative presence with controlled handling, emphasizing powerful cuts while remaining manageable in motion.

The proportions reflect late medieval war swords, giving a sense of forward authority and historical heft.

This sword is ideal for collectors, historical enthusiasts, and Christian art lovers seeking a piece that blends steel craftsmanship with deep spiritual meaning.
