The Crusader Sword is, perhaps, a more true-to-life sword than most, a blade that likely would have been forged and used in combat, as opposed to a ceremonial weapon used only by a king who never saw battle. The pommel is perhaps the most decorated piece on the sword with a hexagonal form with brass dots surrounding a single cross. The hilt is contoured to fit comfortably while providing a grooved surface to enhance grip. Two blood-groves run up the length of the blade from the guard to just past the middle of the blade.
