Claymore Swords, the Scottish Past Carried Into the Present

The original Claymore swords were massive, two-handed, double-edged broadswords that were wielded during the 16th to 18th Centuries by hard-bitten, hard-fighing Scottish Highlanders. Used for both cleaving and smashing in melee combat, they were the Highlanders’ weapons of choice during their continual uprisings against the English and in their bloody and seemingly-constant inter-clan battles. Their design almost always incorporated a cross-hilt with downsloping arms that had quatrefoils (a design that is somewhat similar to a four-leaf clover) on the ends. These Claymore swords required a Great Deal of strength to use effectively: they were usually around 4 1/2 feet long and they typically weighed around 5 1/2 pounds. The blade alone was usually around 4 feet of cold, brutal steel.

A different type of Claymore sword, somewhat shorter, somewhat more advanced in design, had only a single edge. Instead of the cross-hilt, it utilized a basket hilt in order to more effectively protect the hand in combat. This type of Claymore became popular with Scottish troops during the 1700s, and it is still worn as an integral part of the ceremonial, full-dress uniform of the Highland regiments of the British Army.

But the original Claymore sword, simple yet elegant, stands out as one of the classic swords of the world, one that is immediately recognizable to weaponry afficionados everywhere. It is a beautiful but deadly design.

True to their early Scottish roots, the Claymore swords that are available today often have a wood or leather-wrapped handle and sometimes come with a leather scabbard or sheath. Some Claymore swords have chrome-plated steel hilts and blades, others have solid silver or brass hilts and polished stainless steel or carbon steel blades. Some are decorative replicas, while others are advertised as being “battle-ready.”

Swords have been used as weapons of war since time immemorial, and in hundreds of different cultures throughout the world. But no culture has ever used the sword against higher odds than the Scots with their Claymore swords. No sword was ever wielded with greater bravery than the Claymore sword. They are one of the truly great swords of the world, and thanks to their popularity, they are a piece of history that lives on today.

How do you reconcile the double edge sword situation that America often faces when dealing with world affairs?

You know the one where, if our county decides to intervene in another country’s problems with the intention of helping the situation and f*ck up in the process we get scolded for screwing up. If we decided to stay out of other nations affairs and focus primarily on domestic problems(for there are a lot of them) the world views us as selfish, uncaring, ignorant, etc.

What are your opinions on this matter. I’m not thinking of any issues in particular it’s just a general observation.

Thank You!

Our reconciliation is that we have the biggest, baddest and sharpest sword in the world. No matter what others think of us, our sword and our knowledge and skill in using it gives us an air of arrogance and steadfastness.

We intervene in other country’s affairs not to further their agendas, but ours. If we f*ck up, its their loss, not ours. It’s collateral damage, something we could care less about. It just costs us money and a few soldiers lives – a price that is more than acceptable to our rulers.

We take advantage of other nation’s internal problems and further instigate more chaos until we control and influence the decision-makers. We truly are selfish, uncaring, etc. – but we pretend that we are helping the poor bastards out. Just look at all the soft revolutions we financed in Eastern Europe and the Caucasus areas. We infiltrate the local population, pay off informants and collaborators, recruit people who will help out with our cause – then unleash holy hell. The media helps us out, and are actually the most valuable collaborators in our endeavor of World Domination. Without the media’s brainwashing of the population and preaching our propaganda 24/7, the task would be much, much harder.

We will have complete hegemony one way or another – we will either achieve it with the sword or through subversion. When subversion fails, when economic sanctions fail, when all diplomatic means are exhausted – our sword never fails. And ultimately, those who resist, will be cut down one by one.

Hail hegemony.
