The Windlass Accolade Sword of the Knights Templar is a striking homage to one of the most storied military orders of the Middle Ages. Engraved along the blade are the words that defined the Templar creed: Non Nobis, Domine, Non Nobis, Sed Nomini Tuo Da Gloriam — “Not unto us, O Lord, not unto us, but to Thy name give glory.” For two centuries this vow guided the Order’s rise, influence, and enduring mystique, and it lends this sword a sense of purpose and solemnity that goes far beyond its steel.

Hand‑forged from high‑carbon steel, the blade has been shaped and tempered by Windlass’s most skilled smiths to achieve the balance, quickness, and durability expected of a knightly weapon. It feels alive in the hand, capable of both ceremony and combat, and carries the presence of a sword that could easily have been used to induct a new brother into the Order. The hilt is equally impressive, with a richly detailed Templar coin set into each side of the pommel, complete with Latin inscriptions and symbols long associated with the Order’s legacy. The grip is wrapped in deep red genuine leather and finished with a wire over‑wrap, giving it both a regal appearance and a secure, comfortable hold.

The scabbard is crafted with the same attention to detail. Built around a custom wood core and covered in heavy top‑grain dark brown leather, it features solid metal fittings and comes with a matching period belt, creating a complete ensemble that looks as though it stepped out of a medieval chapel or battlefield. Arriving factory sharp, the Accolade is not merely decorative — it is a functional sword that captures the spirit of the Templars at the height of their power.

This is a blade that blends history, symbolism, and craftsmanship into a single commanding piece. Whether displayed as a tribute to the Order’s legacy or wielded as a working sword, the Accolade stands as a worthy representation of the honor, discipline, and mystique that defined the Knights Templar.
