The Crusader Blade (撃剣クルセイダーGekiken Kuruseidaa, literally meaning "Fencing: Crusader") is a Blade introduced in Kid Icarus: Uprising. It resembles a medieval sword used by knights and soldiers in The Crusades. This weapon has a hand-guard, much like medieval swords. Its barrel is flat, which also maintains its sword-like appearance. The Crusader Blade specializes in defense, with most of its shots able to nullify enemy fire.
