The story behind the blade
The Spartan Sword of King Leonidas in its sharpened edition is a replica of the leaf-shaped xiphos that defined the arsenal of the hoplites of Lacedaemon. Short double-edged sharpened blade with an acute tip, wood or bone guard, and a simple spherical pommel.
A sharpened version for the most rigorous collectors of Spartan swords, popularized by Zack Snyder’s film 300 (2007) and Frank Miller’s graphic novel. Prized by cosplayers of Leonidas and the 300, reenactors of the Battle of Thermopylae (480 BC), and those decorating spaces with an Ancient Greece theme. Pairs beautifully with an aspis shield decorated with the Spartan lambda and a purple cloak.
Piece intended for collection, display, and decoration. Not designed for functional use (combat, cutting, sparring, or martial training).
This is a collector’s replica. Sword US declines all responsibility for any use other than display and decoration.
