Cold Steel - Italian long sword with sheath - sharp Cold Steel - Italian long sword with sheath - sharp The era of the long sword spanned nearly three centuries (approximately 1350 to 1650). This sword featured a distinctive cruciform grip, a long double-edged blade, and was equally adept at opposing enemies in light, heavy armor. Its extra-long blade offered the range and lever needed for powerful stabbing and cutting blows, while its long cross guard and heavy knob were useful for hooking and hitting. When heavy plate armor was found, the edge blows were marginally effective and were often abandoned in favor of a half-sword technique, where one hand grabs the handle and the other the blade to better steer the tip and push sideways. small gaps and armor joints more accurately. The reconstruction of Cold Steel® is based on the Italian concept of sword design. Blade and balance slightly favor thrust attacks, however, cutting edges are also astonishingly effective. In addition, the simple cruciform grip is also practical, with its long cross guard down, leather-on-wood grip and counterweight fishtail knob. This italian long sword comes with a wooden sheath covered in leather with steel accessories. Details: Material: 1060 high carbon steel sheet, leather-coated wooden handle. Overall length: 119.4 cm.
