⚔️ THE SWORD REMAINS. THE KNIGHT IS FORGOTTEN.

Imagine a sword resting beside a medieval knight's tomb, undisturbed for centuries, while the name of the man who once carried it fades into history.

That may be part of the story behind Royal Armouries IX.1426, a remarkable 15th-century arming sword whose origins remain a mystery.

With its sharply tapered blade, distinctive curled guard, and heavy wheel pommel, it represents the closing chapter of the Middle Ages.

But one question remains unanswered. Who was the knight?

🏰 If you could uncover the story behind any surviving medieval sword, would you rather know who carried it or what it witnessed?

⚔️ WHY DID ROME CHANGE ITS SWORD?

The Roman legions had conquered vast territories with the distinctive waisted blades of the Mainz gladius. Yet by the middle of the 1st century AD, a new design was taking its place.

The Pompeii gladius featured straighter edges, a shorter point and a simpler blade profile.

But WHY change something that already worked?

Was it easier to manufacture in large numbers? Did Roman soldiers prefer the new design? Or was it simply the natural evolution of swordmaking?

There's no universally accepted answer, which makes this one of the more interesting debates in Roman military history.

🏛️ Roman history buffs, sword collectors and armchair generals, what do you think drove the change?

🌎 BUY A SWORD. SAVE THE PLANET. ⚔️

At Reliks, environmental responsibility isn't just a modern trend. It's a tradition that goes back centuries.

Introducing Reliks Carbon Capture Technology™.

The science is simple. Carbon is incorporated into steel, where it remains locked away for generations.

Medieval blacksmiths pioneered the concept centuries ago. Reliks is simply continuing the tradition.

While others are still researching carbon capture, swordsmiths have been putting carbon into steel for over a thousand years.

And unlike some modern solutions, this one looks fantastic hanging on your wall.

⚔️ Collect history. Preserve carbon. Look awesome.

*Disclaimer: This is a joke. Sword collecting is not a scientifically recognized climate solution. But the carbon really is in there.*

The Roman Pompeii Gladius
Before Rome ruled the known world, its legions mastered discipline, precision, and the art of close combat. Behind the protection of their shield wall, Roman soldiers wielded the gladius with unmatched efficiency — striking in unison to break enemy lines.

This later variant, the Pompeii Gladius (circa 100 AD), featured a straighter blade with a shorter point, optimized for formation fighting. Easier to forge yet just as deadly in skilled hands, it became the blade that carried the Roman Empire across continents.

Hand-forged from high carbon steel with a diamond cross section for strength and resilience, this faithful reproduction features an ash and maple hilt and full tang construction for durability. A fine tribute to the weapon that shaped ancient history.

🐍 THE SWORD OF THE PHARAOHS... WITH A SURPRISING PAST!

When you picture an ancient Egyptian warrior, there's a good chance the curved khopesh comes to mind. But here's something you might not know...

The khopesh has roots in the ancient Near East, and Egypt eventually made the design one of its most recognizable symbols of military power.

And then there's the cobra! 🐍

In Egyptian mythology, the sacred cobra represented Wadjet, a goddess believed to protect the pharaoh. Her symbol appeared on royal crowns, and according to ancient beliefs, she could unleash fire upon the king's enemies.

The cobra details on this modern khopesh pay tribute to that remarkable mythology.

Now here's a question for the history enthusiasts...

⚔️ When you think of ancient Egypt, what comes to mind first: the pyramids, the pharaohs, or the mythology?

⚔️ BEFORE THE RAPIER, THERE WAS THE SIDE SWORD!

The medieval sword didn't simply disappear when the Renaissance arrived. Sword design was evolving, and somewhere between the familiar arming sword and the elegant rapier stood the Italian spada da lato.

Meaning "sword at the side," this versatile design was equally at home in the military and civilian worlds of 16th-century Italy.

Its blade retained the ability to cut and thrust, while the increasingly elaborate swept hilt offered greater protection for the hand.

And here's what makes this period so fascinating: the side sword and rapier actually overlapped in history. One didn't simply replace the other overnight!

🏰 Now imagine yourself walking the streets of Renaissance Florence, where fashion, status, and swordsmanship all mattered.

⚔️ Which would you rather have at your side, the versatile SIDE SWORD or the elegant RAPIER?
