I have searched about 500 websites on Different Claymores in the US and Canada, and all have been pretty much all been junk.

Does anyone know of a place where to buy a good qaulity Two handed Claymore in Canada or the US?

The Albion Armourers' Chieftan sword looks like a fine claymore to me, and their swords come highly recommended.

How about A&A's Claymore http://www.arms-n-armor.com/sword100.html

I've never handled it, but everything I have touched from www.armourclass.co.uk has been gold so...

Castle Keep claymores looks extremaly nice and "claymoreish". Dunno about their other qualities, but they look realy good,

It's in Scotland though.

Last time I checked, a Claymore (Claidheamh Mor) referred more to the single handed basket hilted swords of Scotland, although it used to refer to the two-handed versions as well. Which one is the original poster referring to?

I believe that the two-handed sword that you are all posting links to is known by modern scholars as a Claidheamh da Laimh.

:blush: I should have been more thorough. Must have missed the part where he mentioned it being two-handed :blush:

I can highly recommend the Arms & Armor Highland Claymore -- It is a high quality piece, not only in terms of appearance and historical accuracy (at 5 3/4 lbs, it's near the upper end of the "accurate" weight scale, most historical two-handed claymores coming in at between 4 and 5 lbs, or even less. Still, most mass-produced reproductions are quite a bit heavier than this!). It is, of course, a devestating cutter, as the originals were.

The Albion Mark Chieftain looks good. I haven't handled one or even seen one "in the flesh", but the stats look nice. And it has the Albion name, so it certainly will be a work of quality.

Anyway, these are probably the two best "semi production" two-hand Claidheamh Da Laimh made in the USA. I don't think there's anyone out there who makes a substantially better Claymore short of going full custom (BTW Arms & Armor does custom work, so if you don't like something about their "standard" Claymore, you can have it altered... for a price, of course...).

Either way, I think you'll be satisified....
