The Tyler, or Tiler in some Masonic traditions, is the Lodge officer traditionally responsible for guarding the door of the Lodge from outside.

UGLE specifically describes the Tyler as the officer responsible for guarding the Lodge door.

Masonic History & Symbolism The sword has a long association with the office of the Tyler. Historical Masonic sources document the Tyler carrying a sword, with the sword serving as an implement of office and a symbol of guardianship. By 1738, at least in English Lodge jurisdictions, sources record that the Tyler was armed with a sword rather than the earlier trowel. Traditional Masonic writings also associate the Tyler's sword with the Flaming Sword of Genesis, described as guarding the way to the Tree of Life. Earlier Tyler swords were often described as wavy or flame-shaped, although straight blades were also used historically. The Masonic symbolism of the sword is particularly appropriate for a Tyler: it represents the responsibility of maintaining the boundary of the Lodge and symbolically keeping out what does not belong within it. Red, Gold & Masonic Design The visual combination of red and gold gives this Freemason sword a strong ceremonial appearance. The red velvet-coated steel handle provides a rich contrast against the gold-plated components, while the gold-plated steel hilt and pommel feature Masonic symbols and decorative details. The silver-colored stainless-steel blade completes the traditional sword appearance. The design incorporates traditional Masonic signs and symbols, making it particularly suitable as a Freemasonry display piece, Lodge decoration or collector's item. The sword is not sharp and is intended for decorative and ceremonial purposes only.
