Do you think a sword that size would weigh you down? Think again.

The Claymore averaged just 2 to 3kg. Light enough to wield with speed. Long enough to keep your enemies at a distance. Built for reach, balance and control. It was the weapon of choice across the Scottish Highlands for good reason.

The blacksmiths who forged these blades weren't just craftsmen. They were engineers of war.

Follow us for more medieval facts and a behind-the-scenes look at the ancient art of the forge.
