Braveheart Swords

Soon after the movie was released, it was natural that Braveheart Swords were extremely popular.

And indeed, such was the impact of this movie – that there are still quite a few nice replicas to choose from and likely to be into the foreseeable future.

Most are stainless steel, the kind of decorative non-functional replicas you come to expect from a movie sword. Quality and prices of these swords varies quite wildly, from around US$50 for a very shoddily made Pakistani version to $300+ for a nicer (but still overpriced) display model.

However, the good news is that some forges that specialize in making real swords instead of ornamental displays created their own versions of this early Claymore.

And of all the Braveheart swords on offer, the one I recommend as the best value for money deal is the aptly named ‘Wallace Sword’ by Generation 2 (pictured)

With the thickest and most structurally sound tang on the market (with a peened pommel for added durability) and a massive 40” high carbon steel blade, this is without a doubt the King of all Braveheart swords available for under US$300.

And knowing Generation 2 swords as I do, I have little doubt that not only would it make an impressive display sword but also an incredibly functional piece for serious cutting practice.

While I haven’t had the honor yet of testing this sword out, it is most definitely on my ‘to buy’ shortlist and I have no reason to doubt both its beauty and terrifying functionality.

Generation 2 have quite a name for themselves in the sub US$300 sword market and are well known for producing extremely strong, expertly assembled (no rattles or plastic parts anywhere) swords.

With a sword of this size and weight, I wouldn't trust any other manufacturer of swords in this price range to be able to pull it off.

The price tag on these masterfully created Braveheart swords is a standardized US$299.99 from all Generation 2 stockists.
