Valiant Armoury William Wallace Sword

[acidulousfractal]

not proper at all i have a hand n a half of my own it weighs about 7 kilos and im only 160 odd cm tall its damn near impossible for me to use it but its made for me to my size

[NarlepoaxIII]

@icemanNO1

It's not just a claymore, it's a replica of a prop used in the movie "Braveheart". Although it has no actual visual similarities to the historical Wallace sword which is said to have been used by William Wallace in his rebellion against England.

[HellerDon]

Not how Wallace's sword looked like. They still have the original, you know.

[damnonii]

Who needs the blade just beat them to death with the cross guard. There is enough steel in it to make another sword :o. I like the good handling comment while in the video he looks like he's trying to wave around a "I" beam, which is pretty much what it is I believe. Also the so called "Wallace" sword in the museum is UNPROVEN to be his. I think arson was his favorite weapon anyway. :D . Truthfully not much is actually factually KNOWN about the man or his weapons.

[QRF11B]

Beautiful sword

[caldertkd]

this is a movie sword the wallace sword can be seen at the national wallce monument at stirling on the abbey craig, and i have seen it many times in my life . the sword is 56 inches long and has a wieght of 12 pounds and was most likely made of steel from germany

[madax132]

@caldertkd 12 pounds it too heavy, 8 pounds is the heaviest a 56 inch historical sword would ever be is 7.5 pounds and that is the absolute maximum. 12 pounds at 56 inches would be 1/3 inch thick. European swords were well balanced and not at all sluggish weapons likes a 12 pound sword would be.

[Xiras1985]

wtf ... even knifes from Ikea are sharper than that piece of crap! Btw the leather wraping and especially the guard look terrible!

[mattmanganon]

@icemanNO1 the actual name for it is "Wallace Sword." which that is not, Wallace Swords had guards are completely different. also that is not a Scottish Claymore as a Scottish Claymores hand guars are at an Acute angle to the blade, not a straight line. that is the way we Scots built them.

[Hal0Sux]

Eyelander :D

[KBBISBEAST]

scotts rule

[samholdsworth]

newsflash, the film braveheart is is a pile of wank and it got pretty much every fact wrong.

[snozzzzy10]

all of those who have seen braveheart and thought that Mell Gibson could have used it are NOT so-pose to buy one!

[lewismac136]

u fail wallace's sword was 4 feet it would be 3 quarters of that guy

[liamcelticfc100]

how flexible is it i saw one of these and when u lifted it the blade bent too much.

[shallowdead]

I hear Chuck Norris Uses it to shave His Pubes :O !!

[MrMadmardin]

Now THAT is a bad ass sword.

[paulinesmith44]

since all historians agree that there is little known of wallace himself i doubt very much that his actual sword was ever kept as memoribilia . Wallace would have fought with a Claymore sword and this is not a claymore . i doubt wallace stuck to the same sword throughout his days in the battle fields

[klaatoons]

Foxmcloud555: it is so obvious that you have never taken a class in history! I won't comment ant further. Take a class, then we will talk.

[seonidh]

its not a cleidhmor not a sword used by scots more a replica of the one in the movie.

[GeorgesVI]

@seonidh so it could have been called: the Mel Gibson's sword.

[seonidh]

@GeorgesVI the Mel Gibson interpretation of what a medieval scottish sword would be sword

[foxmcloud555]

Braveheart was a load of shite historically.

Oh, and mel gibson changes his weapon about 4 times during the final charge, he even uses a mace at one point.

[JustAliBluEyes]

This is not the sword of, William Wallace . 

[DannyBoi13397]

Everyone in scotland should have one of these

[mazeltov11]

wallace fans unite? fuckin nerd. only relatives (like me) can say that

[smileextremly]

@mazeltov11 im a relative,,,, yyyyyeeeeaaaahhhh wooo

[mazeltov11]

@smileextremly you a crawford or lindsay from a father side? then i guess so. i salute ye brother. he is my 27th great grandpa. according to archive.

[smileextremly]

@mazeltov11 i salute ye to

[mazeltov11]

@smileextremly it depends on how often our ancestors reproduced. im a crawford and 27-30 generations is counted. but its hard to tell who had kids and who didnt.

[mustang6912]

bit short for a proper claymore

[blow56]

Yet another bucket of ignore-the-history marketing pish. The two-handed 'claymore' is an anachronism for the Wallace period. If he used any bigger sword than normal it would have been a knight's medieval hand-and-a-half.

[ThePoorhillbilly]

the wallace sword is in the stirling monument don't believe anything else. ok so the claymore isn't as sharp and quick as the katana, buts its speciality was felling dukes of their mount from standing position, and beheading multiple enemies in one clean stroke.

[ToMmYjAmEs1231]

@icemanNO1 ....Wallace is the only one who used this style of the Claymore...so it is an appropriate name...the other claymores are usually black handled and the gaurds are at an angle rather than straight with leaf-like designs at the tips

[RiseOfThePro]

@ToMmYjAmEs1231 wallace didn't use this style. wallaces was a lowlander claymore

[RiseOfThePro]

that isn't actually wallace's sword. wallace's sword was a low lander claymore. its on display in endinburgh museum! didn't look like the one in the movie

[NorthernerMatty123]

Katana wins... fatality!

[rednex511]

@mohawkmohican maybe his famous one but he didnt use the same one his entire life

[SvenDreyriAx]

@rednex511 Sorry to burst your bubble dude. But your friend is telling you a load of bullcrap. For a start, how would a sword wielded by a legendary Scot several hundred years ago, end up in Tennessee? And if he really did have Wallace's sword, surely he would have sold it on for millions to a university or museum.

[mohawkmohican]

@icemanNO1 live near lanark??

[rednex511]

No he said it is his actual sword

[RiseOfThePro]

@rednex511 hahahhahahaha

[DJonX7]

@rednex511 HHHAHAHHAAHHAAHAHHAHAAA

[rednex511]

My friend has william wallaces actual sword and it doesnt look like that. Maybe its a different less famous one

[leexlma]

@rednex511 he will have a model of the real one not the acual one

[mohawkmohican]

@rednex511 umm mate sorry to say this but umm Wallaces Claymore is here in scotland, in the stirling monument,

[kazetehskylord]

Dear Santa...

[leexlma]

@JohnCaseyCFC1888 no the real sword is in the wallace monument.

[ThatSage]

A william wallace sword? You mean a claymore? and no call of duty players not a bomb.

[Treifla]

look out cold steel, you have a competitor

these guys' videos are just as bad as yours!

[Bors9]

@icemanNO1 Small chances,William Wallace was born 1272 and claymore was used from 1500 to circa 1700.

[Bors9]

@icemanNO1 William Wallace  didnt use Claymore

[brianthao102]

i think you need a sharper bladed edge by it would cut it clean with no bending a katana can slice trough so fav. is still katana

[teedonster]

insert team fortress 2 reference here

[elFinEntusManos]

yay a fat boy holding a sword

[TheDutchBarbarian]

anyone saying its a claymore have absolutely NO idea what a claymore is, and like @alanjakarta says a claymore is both bigger and heavyer then this sword, though that is smaller and lighter and exually useful in 1vs1 combat, since the claymore is heavy and hard to swing around, you're dead in 1vs1. william wallace was a footfighter and used a sword of this kind to kill more then 100's of british. so please know your swords before saying its a claymore.

[StormchaserKnight]

William Wallace sword? It's spelt CLAYMORE!

And the dude using it seriously over balances him self when he swings. Move your feet to balance yourself, don't let the weight of the sword dictate where you're going

[GregCorporations]

im only 14 and im a wallace fan lol.

[alanjakarta]

As a Highland Scotsman, Please check weapon history before making acclaied comments. The word and title of the sword Claymore (Mhore :meaning BIG) is very wrongly used. Wallace would NEVER have used a Claymore. A " Broadsword" yes, or a battle axe. The Claymore is huge and very heavy, used at the front of ranks to cut down horse or infantary. Then the broadsword is used. NOBODY could or would want to use a Claymore for long nor in a normal situation. It would be useless in close combat.

[mousey451]

Call me stupid, but if it was held by 1 of the most greatest men alive, Why the fuck would you even hold it! :/

[BigManInCanada]

Seriously, all these guys are preparing us for a zombie invasion... must get my great sword!

[budahcat123]

51"

[superflea121]

Lol the demoman's eyelander. EH ME BOTTLE OF SCRUMPY!

[theMacvarish]

What a load of pish !

Mel Gibson strikes again.

[bassist10814]

Just thought I'd let you know that this is not the [Real] Wallace sword. Wallace's sword had a not so wide blade and there was no leather above the hand guard. Plus this does not have a 'Sword Catch,' one Wallace's key accessories on his sword. And last but certainly not least, Wallace's sword was 6 ft. tall. This..."sword"..... is a hunk of metal the Mel Gibson put together because Mel is short. End of story.

[StormchaserKnight]

@bassist10814 Do you actually know anything about swords? I doubt it. Firstly, no sword was ever made to be 6ft long. A sword of that length would have been unwieldy, heavy, complicated and hard to make. An axe of that length is preferable (ie: the Dane axe) The width of the blade is fine. Secondly, 'Sword Catch?' I've been studying swords of the medieval period for the better part of 12 years and I've never heard of a 'Sword Catch.'

[colotron]

@StormchaserKnight Claymores were roughly around 4-5 ft long , that sword there is NOT a claymore!

[StormchaserKnight]

@colotron It has the stylisation of a claymore is what I meant: Two handed sword with the extra leather grip extending along the blade

[seonidh]

Also the battle was called the battle of Stirling bridge, while Mel Gibson had a field south of Dublin for the location. Not very accurate as the Scots used the bridge to null any advantage the English cavilry would have had.

[Antzcceltic1]

braveheart was VERY inaccurate

only about 1/20 things in that movie where real, and the wallace sword cant be said ti be wallace's or not as king james the 6th of scotland (also king james the 1st of england, same guy) had the sword repaired

some people say parts of the sword werent invented till 160 after wallace and others dispute thats because it was repaired

so dont think you know ANYTHING about william wallace because you saw braveheart

im scottish i know these thing ;)

[CharlieRussell03]

massive!

[Giamcomo]

did you know that in reality William Wallace wasn't the main man for most of the battles. His one great accomplishment was at York but for Stirling it was Craig the balled leader out of the three in the negotiation scene. Wallace was betrayed at the Battle of Falkirk but it was because of Mornay and Lochlan, Robert the Bruce had nothing to do with it, Mel Gibson just needed to add some tension between him and his rotting father. now you know and knowing is half the battle. YEAHHH!!!!!

[iswiminabog]

Meh, toothpick.

[SyntaxOverride]

@iswiminabog That toothpick can slice your head off

[tristanfines45]

its called a claymore

[drawsomeeyes]

Here's an idea - 1.Design a sword on paper, 2.Put Braveheart on and pause when you have a good shot of the sword. I suggest the bit near the end where it gets thrown, 3.Check your drawing against the one on screen, Wrong? Go back to step 1.

[drawsomeeyes]

Not even nearly the sword in the film or the one in the Wallace Monument. Try again :P

[SgtSamProductions]

@drawsomeeyes Yeah it is. Did you watch the movie?

[drawsomeeyes]

@SgtSamProductions No it isn't moron

[DtTV94]

this guys a fat fucking geek though, "Someone got it right". Disny even make fuckin sense, someone got it right even though the guys that made the film got it wrong in the first place. Fcukin retards. "wallace fans unite". What the fuck, this isny thundercats ya fuckin geek, get a life!!!

[XXXblackgoatXXX]

omg! 0:44 that fat nerd made my day lol

[mouthforwar17]

that guy needs to learn how to use a sword...secondly that is a replica of sumthing hollywood invented...if ur gunna get a claymore...get either the highland one or the lowland one...not this thing

[DtTV94]

Ive got three things to say. 1. Stop calling it a fucking william wallace sword,he used a claymore. 2. That is not a claymore, thats a fucking longsword. 3. I know all or most caucasian americans originated from great britain, but you americans havent really got a right to go waving around OUR sword :)

[mouthforwar17]

the bloody arse doesnt even noe how tae swing that sword either!.

[ColonelMarksman]

@DtTV94 It's the "William Wallace sword" because that's the appropriate name for the Hollywood stunt movie sword they handed to Mel Gibson. That is an exact replica of the sword used in the movie, but the movie got it wrong (on many levels) by not using a claymore in the first place.

[drawsomeeyes]

@ColonelMarksman Go to museum replicas and search for Wallace sword. That is the one I have and that is the ONLY exact replica available to date. Sad as it may be I have checked it against the Bluray version of Braveheart and it is identical. The sword in the video is a piece of shit

[yeoldesammy81]

@drawsomeeyesi agree, i own the windlass version myself and it is awesome, this version in the video looks like a cheesy wall hanger at best.

[crawford1990x]

do you know how heavy the real one is.

you would not be able to swing it like that.

[gbman123]

very true. you had to give it your all just to swing it. to be fair the demo swords are just copies and not the real thing.

[crawford1990x]

@gbman123

i was just making a point

[mouthforwar17]

usually around 5 pounds....and the reason y it looked so hard tae swing is cuz that bloody fatass dun noe how tae swing it

[Mordrent]

one last comment :

SWord of might site ROCKSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!

can you make a Ritter Steel double head war axe cutting performance?

[Mordrent]

Hi! .. could you tell me... what's the grip and cross guard lenght ? .. am thinkin get one for customize.

and one last question .. the leather wrapped ricasso can be removed ? or is it a metal ring under the cover ?..

Well, awesome landsknecht ( Wallace) sword, I saw a XV german woodcut and this one it's exactly the same ..

that's all see ya ! :D

[RahKahhar]

That is not Wallace's sword, that is a replica of the shit from Braveheart, which according to my old history teacher, is an English long sword. Kind of ironic really, since he fought for Scotland's independence.

[nacholover94]

actually, sir william wallace used a claymore

[RahKahhar]

Yes I know he used a claymore but that isn't one.

[DanMarik]

@nacholover94 This is a Claymore

[budahcat123]

@nacholover94 ...That was made 200 years after

[Mario59870]

@nacholover94 A claymore is a single handed small sword from scotland. What you're thinking about is a highlands greatsword.

[MrSPECTRUM7]

@nacholover94 Very true this is not the Wallace sword and not only that Wallace did not wear a kilt like in that historically wrong hollywood tripe Braveheart. Lowland scots did not wear kilts only the highlanders did.

The real Braveheart was the greatest King of Scots, Robert the Bruce who defeated the english at bannockburn.

When Bruce died his heart was placed in a silver casket and his body buried in a cloth of gold. The bruces heart was carried in the silver casket by The Black Douglas.

[satan666900]

@MrSPECTRUM7 Wallace is a true hero. The Bruce was a tratorous bastard who had no right to become king. He deserves to rot in hell with the inferior english scum

[MrSPECTRUM7]

@satan666900 You are obviously a MORON who has not read any Scottish History and your comments regarding our neighbours the English are discgusting. Rot in Hell you Bastard!!!!

[satan666900]

@MrSPECTRUM7 You need to check your history again. on SEVERAL occasions robert the bruce changed sides during the wars of independance in 1296, 1297, 1302 and i dont give a shit what his excuses were he should have taken a side and stuck by his decision no matter the consequences as Wallace did and gave his life honourably

[foxmcloud555]

@satan666900 Oh will you just fuck off. I've never understood why people hate Britain so much. The union between all the countries has done more for all of us than we could have done individually. I have english family, they're exactly the fucking same but with a different accent.

Oh and if you hate the english so much, why are you speaking their language? Why don't you just go the whole way and only speak gaelic.

[seonidh]

@foxmcloud555 well said Im Irish with a scottish father and I have english family as well. These Americans are so out of touch to what we are and the migrations across these islands. I am proud of my scots, english and irish ancestors.

[AnHeC]

@nacholover94 Then he was a fucking time traveler, because claymores were used since XV century, and Wallece died in 1305.

[acidulousfractal]

@AnHeC well yes you are right but they have been labled differently throughout time known also as bastard sword or in wallaces case a hand and a half sword and were built to your size the tip on the ground the pommel touching your chin

[dothackElk]

Very nice.

[FatGuyWithAKatana]

looks like it needs a little time with an accusharpener.

[swordsofmight]

Bah, it just needs someone that knows how to use it...

[ColonelMarksman]

@swordsofmight LOL. It's not real. It's the "William Wallace" sword from Braveheart. It isn't anywhere close to being a true claymore.

[swordsofmight]

I am thinking about taking one for myself :)

[Jeeperrandy]

That's an awesome piece. It looks much better than a lot of the Wallace replicas I've seen.
