Canadian RCN Navy Officer’s Sword with Scabbard and Knot

The Canadian RCN Navy Officer’s Sword with Scabbard and Knot is a ceremonial sidearm issued to commissioned officers of the Royal Canadian Navy. This sword follows the traditional naval pattern, featuring a single-edged, slightly curved blade, typically constructed from polished steel. The hilt is fitted with a gilt brass guard, adorned with naval motifs such as the fouled anchor, and is complemented by a white or black rayskin grip, bound with wire for secure handling. The included scabbard is commonly made of black leather with brass fittings designed for wear during formal naval occasions. A gold bullion sword knot, used to secure the sword to the officer’s wrist, accompanies the set and is tied to the guard. These swords are worn as part of the full dress uniform during parades, ceremonies, and official functions, reflecting Canadian naval tradition and rank distinction within the service.
