Masonic Sword - Trefoil Guard with symbols

Craftsmanship and Details

Nos Colonnes offers a selection of made-to-measure Masonic swords, intended to enrich ritual and tradition within the lodge. Each sword is made with care and precision.

• Stainless Steel Blade: the 70 cm blade is made of quality stainless steel and left unsharpened to ensure safety and compliance during ceremonies.

History and Symbolism

The use of the sword in French and European Freemasonry differs clearly from Anglo-Saxon practice. The sword is often seen as a link with chivalric traditions, strengthening the connection between Freemasons and the heritage of the orders of nobility.

• Wearing in Lodge: while in some rites the sword is reserved for specific officers, in others, such as the Rectified Scottish Rite (RER) or the Traditional French Rite, it is carried by all members, underlining equality and fraternity among them.
• Symbolic Dimensions: the straight sword can represent various concepts such as the divine word, truth and justice, or serve as a tool in the ritual of dubbing or consecration, signifying the transmission of responsibilities and knowledge.
