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.
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.
@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.
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
@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.

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

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