The Templar Sword

During the 82nd Annual CT DeMolay Conclave, in 2012, the Connecticut Grand Commandery presented Connecticut DeMolay with the Templar Sword, with the intent that it will be used for ceremonial purposes across the state.

The sword will mostly be used during Chevalier and Legion of Honor Investitures, but is available for other ceremonies as appropriate.
