Hickory Scottish Claymore(full build)

The Scottish Claymore was the bane of the English on the battlefield. Today, we make a slightly less lethal version out of hickory and walnut!
If you want a handcrafted hickory claymore of your own, it’s available to order at www.middleborn...

This is neat. I can't wait to get to see my order when it's done. (Crusader arming sword)

Historically, the Claymore refers to the one handed Basket Hilt Broadsword or Backsword, the Two-handed one was just called Scottish Greatsword, or Scottish Two-handed sword

The scots gaellic claidheamh-mòr translates directly to “big/great sword” and was used for both of them it seems. Sometimes the claymore I made is called a Highlander Claymore. But modern terms for swords usually have little to do with the historical ones

Two hand-and-a-half

I too love big swords. 😁Beautiful work. Everything was put into context when I saw the Ren Faire in the parting shot. I liked the conversational tone and sharing the minor whoopsie with the calipers.
