This two-handed sword is the true Scottish Claymore, the great double-edged broadsword used by Scottish Highlanders from the 15th to the early 17th Century. The name is also wrongly applied to the single-edged basket-hilted sword adopted in the 16th Century and still worn as the full-dress sword of the Highland regiments of the British Army.

This Scottish Claymore sword letter opener measures 16.5cm and has a steel blade with metal handle. It is antique siver plated and is supplied in a box with clear acetate lid and an information card.
