Darksword Armory Charlemagne Sword
Authentic Battle-Ready Replica | Inspired by the Louvre’s Joyeuse

The Darksword Armory Charlemagne Sword is one of our most ambitious and highly anticipated projects, inspired by the legendary sword Joyeuse displayed at the Louvre. Crafted with meticulous attention to detail, this sword features a broad, solid blade with a single fuller, faithfully matching the original artifact.

Forged from durable 5160 high carbon steel, the blade is designed for strength and balance, while the specially thickened tang ensures exceptional stability and durability in use. What truly sets this sword apart is the exquisite hilt furniture—cast in bronze using the traditional lost wax process, offering superior craftsmanship over common brass or gold-plated reproductions.

Our Charlemagne Sword captures the intricate detail and historical significance of Joyeuse, making it one of the few battle-ready replicas of Charlemagne’s sword available on the market today. Whether for collectors, reenactors, or history enthusiasts, this sword combines authentic design with practical functionality.
