The Sword Knight (剣騎士 Soodo naito) is a horse-mounted combat physical class of knights who ride into battle wielding Swords. First introduced into the series in Path of Radiance, the Sword Knight class is one of two classes that the classic Cavalier class is split into, the other being the Lance Knight class. Upon promotion, Sword Knights are upgraded into Paladins in Path of Radiance and Blade Paladins in Radiant Dawn.
