Hanwei La Tène Sword

Celtic Sword – 22-Inch La Tène Replica | Hand-Forged 5160 Steel Blade

Inspired by the renowned Celtic swords of the La Tène culture (circa 450–50 BCE), this hand-forged blade embodies the martial traditions of Iron Age Europe. The La Tène swords were pivotal in the evolution of European weaponry, influencing designs like the Roman gladius and later medieval swords.

This version is crafted by Everest Forge, drawing influence from the legendary Hanwei Forge, known globally for reviving historical weapons with a commitment to traditional craftsmanship, functional performance, and historical accuracy. While this is not a Hanwei-manufactured sword, it follows the same high standards and historical fidelity that Hanwei swords are known for—making it a worthy tribute blade for collectors, reenactors, and practitioners alike.

Forged from durable 5160 high-carbon leaf spring steel, the 22-inch blade is water-tempered for optimal hardness and flexibility. The 7-inch rosewood handle ensures a comfortable grip and historical authenticity. Whether used for historical reenactment, training, or display, this blade is fully functional and beautifully crafted.
