The Dragon Slayer
The dragon has often been associated with evil. In many legends, a dragon had the ability to wreak havoc upon a land and therefore had to be either propitiated by a human sacrifice, or killed; it was also often the guardian of a treasure or a maiden.
The highest achievement of a hero in medieval legend was the slaying of a dragon, as in the story of St. George. King Arthur, son of Uther Pendragon (dragon's head), also killed a dragon.
This is a replica of the legendary medieval sword of the dragon slayers who became heroes by overpowering the mythical beast of the Middle Ages.
This sword is a combination of steel cast and stained wood with a double edged stainless steel blade.
The pommel contains a mold of a fire breathing dragon that is more of a celebration of the fictitious beast rather than a condemnation of its representation.
