Wood Hilt Celtic Sword – 25-Inch La Tène Inspired Functional Sword
The Wood Hilt Celtic Sword is a modern recreation of the iconic La Tène swords used by ancient Celtic warriors across Europe during the Iron Age (c. 450–50 BCE). Known for their curved blades and elegant design, La Tène swords represented both martial strength and cultural identity.
Hand-forged by skilled Nepalese bladesmiths at Everest Forge, this 25-inch blade is made from repurposed 5160 high-carbon leaf spring steel — a material chosen for its exceptional strength, durability, and flexibility. Each blade is shaped using traditional blacksmithing methods and is water-tempered and sharpened to create a truly functional edge. While this sword is a striking historical replica, it is also built for real-world use, making it ideal for collectors, practitioners, or reenactors.
The extended 8-inch rosewood handle offers excellent balance and control, while the included leather-wrapped wooden scabbard ensures safe storage and transport.
