Most replica swords look like props. The Iron Oath Handmade Medieval Longsword does not. This is a full 36–39 inch hand-forged carbon steel longsword built with the details that serious collectors and history enthusiasts actually wan a high-polish blade, Celtic knotwork engraved cross-guard, long leather-wrapped grip, and a classic wheel pommel.
The blade is forged from carbon steel and finished to a bright high polish. A center fuller groove runs the length of the blade historically used to reduce weight while keeping blade strength. The result is a blade that looks and feels like a genuine medieval knight's sword.
The wide cross-guard is engraved with detailed Celtic and Norse knotwork patterns on both arms a design motif used on real medieval swords of the 12th–15th centuries. The natural tan leather-wrapped grip is long enough for a two-hand hold, and the round wheel pommel balances the blade perfectly for display or handling.

HISTORY OF THE MEDIEVAL LONGSWORD
The longsword emerged as the dominant sword design in medieval Europe between the 13th and 17th centuries. Unlike earlier single-hand swords, the longsword featured a longer grip that allowed both one-hand and two-hand use — earning it the alternative name "bastard sword" because it sat between a one-handed sword and a full two-handed great sword.
Knights and men-at-arms across England, France, Germany, and the Holy Roman Empire carried longswords as their primary blades. The Oakeshott typology a classification system developed by historian Ewart Oakeshott catalogued over 13 distinct longsword types based on blade shape, cross-guard style, and pommel design. The Iron Oath is inspired by the Type XVa profile: a long, slender, high-polish blade built for reach and precision.
Celtic and Norse knotwork on sword cross-guards was common among medieval smiths in Britain, Ireland, and Scandinavia. These engravings carried symbolic meaning — representing eternity, strength, and the interconnectedness of fate. Today, swords with this design are among the most sought-after by collectors of medieval historical replicas.

- Wipe blade clean and dry after each handling
- Apply light blade oil to carbon steel to prevent rust

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What is a medieval longsword?
A medieval longsword is a straight, double-edged sword with a grip long enough for one or two hands. It was the primary sword of European knights and soldiers from the 13th to 17th centuries. The Iron Oath Medieval Longsword is a historically inspired replica of this classic design hand-forged carbon steel, Celtic engraved cross-guard, and a full 36–39 inch length.
Why is the longsword also called a bastard sword?
The term "bastard sword" comes from the sword's in-between size longer than a standard one-handed sword but shorter than a full two-handed great sword. It could be used comfortably with one or two hands, making it versatile on the battlefield. The Iron Oath features a long two-hand grip that reflects this classic bastard sword proportion.
How heavy is a real medieval longsword?
Most historical medieval longswords weighed between 2.5 and 4 pounds (1.1–1.8 kg). Despite their size, they were designed to be fast and well-balanced. The Iron Oath Medieval Longsword, with its 36–39 inch carbon steel blade and wheel pommel, is built with proper proportions that give it a balanced feel for display and handling.
What does the Celtic engraving on the cross-guard mean?
Celtic and Norse knotwork engravings were commonly used on medieval swords across Britain, Ireland, and Scandinavia. The interlocking patterns symbolized eternity, strength, and fate. Swords featuring this engraving style are historically accurate to the medieval period and are among the most popular designs with collectors of historical replica swords.
Is the Iron Oath Medieval Longsword good for display?
Yes. The high-polish carbon steel blade, ornate engraved cross-guard, and full 36–39 inch length make this one of the most visually impressive display swords available.

Follow the template
Format: Paperback
Not much different from the 2005 ed, which was good
Version 4, it is practically verbatim. The only major change I can see is the Story Template changed all of the terminology and dropped Act III all together leaving it pretty much up to the reader to figure out how to close the presentation.
I prefer the V.1 template over this one.
Slicker paper and color photos, and the story boarding is more developed.
Following the template is key to pulling the presentation off.
A good portion of the book is still geared toward a Corporate audience with the assumption that the reader is an upper-level manager with a team of employees to do your work for you.
Know what you are getting into. The creation of an effective 15 minute presentation can take hours for a solopreneur. I use the 45 minute format to create 15/20 minute training videos.
I will recommend this book to anyone who creates and delivers PPT presentations, can focus and stick to the plan.
