Kingdom of heaven

by Adam Thurkettle
(Ipswich, Suffolk, UK)

I have to date only purchased one windlass sword the Kingdom of heaven, sword of Ibelin. Having bought movie replica swords before I was expecting a reasonably pretty display sword, however with the sword of ibelin things were very different.

First of all this sword isn't pretty, it's stunning, perfectly proportioned with such a delightfully shaped and designed hilt that it is truly beautiful to behold.

The other thing I noticed is that whilst slightly whippy, but not much this sword is fully functional and having tested it on plastic bottles and other such light targets i have found that it is very capable and despite what other people have said i would say that it behaves very well in the hand for a movie replica.

Definitely one of their best swords
by: Paul Southren

There is little doubt that the Kingdom of Heaven line were some of the best swords that Windlass ever produced.

What is a real shame is that they did not sell as well as Windlass expected and in the end had to be dumped. The worst part is, it doesn't encourage 'movie sword' makers to make something that is functional, and in this respect is a real blow for the movement away from Wallhangers that it may have precipitated if it had been sucessful... :-(

But on the bright side, it showed what kind of swords they can make if they put their minds to it!
