SHOP CASE KNIVESBraided Walnut-Olivewood Short Sword by SZCO Supplies
Blending the ferocity of ancient warfare with the precision of modern craftsmanship, the SZCO Braided Walnut-Olivewood Short Sword is a weapon forged for both display and purpose. Modeled after the short swords carried by Celtic warriors and Norse raiders, this piece pays homage to a legacy of warriors who valued speed, balance, and devastating efficiency in close quarters.
At 21 inches overall, this short sword offers a compact yet commanding profile. The blade is hand-forged from firestorm-pattern Damascus steel—a layered construction technique that not only produces its signature swirl patterns but also delivers exceptional strength and durability. Shaped into a traditional double-edged spear point with a raised central ridge, this blade is as functional as it is visually arresting, offering excellent balance for display or costume use.
The handle is where form meets symbolism. Constructed from a braided fusion of walnut and olivewood, the herringbone-style weave echoes the basket-hilt traditions of ancient weaponsmiths, representing unity, strength, and an interconnected sense of purpose. The polished brass guard and pommel not only provide a classic contrast to the dark woodgrain but also deliver a secure counterbalance that enhances grip and control.
Designed with collectors, reenactors, and fantasy enthusiasts in mind, this short sword makes a striking impression in any setting. Whether mounted on a wall, worn as part of a historical or fantasy costume, or displayed as part of a curated arms collection, it evokes the craftsmanship of a bygone era while standing firmly in the present.
A custom-fitted leather sheath completes the offering, stamped with arrow designs that add a final touch of character and tradition. It protects the blade and adds rugged flair for transport or presentation.
The SZCO Braided Walnut-Olivewood Short Sword isn’t just a decorative piece—it’s a functional tribute to the heritage of steel, wood, and war. For those who appreciate the fusion of beauty and brutality, this blade answers the call.
