product description
Doctoral sword with leather sheath and engraved with your personal crest, blade 76 cm long, with floral blade etching
Made in Germany
Doctoral sword with leather scabbard and shield with customized engraving.
In Finland and other countries it is a tradition to wear a sword and hat when graduating from university.
WKC Solingen exclusively manufactures doctoral swords (Tohtorinmiekka) based on the original design by Akseli Gallen-Kallela from Finland.
WKC developed the sword with Akseli Gallen-Kallela in 1918 and the original tools are still preserved.
In 1938, 31st US President Herbert Hoover was given the honorary doctorate by Helsinki University and he also received a WKC doctoral sword:
The German quality can be seen in every detail.
The doctoral sword symbolizes truth and is a weapon used in defense of truth, right and good.
The sword is a civilian sword designed by Akseli Gallen-Kallela and officially endorsed by independent Finland.
A guard shield is attached to the sword, which can be engraved with a coat of arms or logo.
The name and date of the graduation are usually engraved on the shiny-polished stainless steel blade.
The sword is carried on the left side with a leather pouch or belt holder.
