Beginning in the 14th century, Swiss pikemen established themselves as dominant mercenaries. But an equally courageous, stout competitor later appeared from Germany. Landsknecht troops challenged Swiss superiority in a "No Quarter" rivalry that lasted for years. The flamboyantly dressed German Landsknecht mercenary lived a harsh, brutal life and were famous for their giant, two-hand Flamberge sword. After using the Flamberge to break an enemy's row of front-line pikemen, a smaller, one-hand sword was employed for the ensuing close-quarters combat - the Katzbalger. Not as fancy as its slightly frivolous looking (but nonetheless deadly) big brother, the Katzbalger (roughly translates to "cat-gutter") was still highly styled and was designed to be an effective cut and thrust sword. Carried by all Landsknecht troops, including the pikemen and arquebusiers, this sword had an ornate "closed s" shaped guard and an extra long, fluted pommel. The Katzbalger was most assuredly respectful of its Renaissance roots.Our replica is just as battle ready as the originals. The beautifully rendered grip would do any Landskecht proud. The fluting in the pommel extends seamlessly into the wood grip, and the guard is expertly spiral twisted and terminates in half-spheres. The tempered, high carbon steel blade is adorned with a trio of fullers that slightly lighten the blade.The black leather scabbard is mildly decorated with leather bands that criss-cross and are knotted near the throat and has a unique steel tip. Guard is 4-1/4" wide. The blade is distal tapered (.160" at the guard and .1315" at the tip) which helps keep the sword's weight to only 2.4 lbs.

Our Viking Battle Axe is intended to be used as a stand-alone weapon, but it can be paired effectively with a sword, shield, or long sax. It’s a cutting, chopping, stabbing dynamo that any Viking worth his salt would, would envy. It’s drop forged and features a wide curved cutting edge that terminates in horns or “points” on the ends. This means you can stab, parry, or hook shields or “limbs” with ease. Like our Viking Great Axe, it comes with a premium 30 inch long American Hickory handle which is long enough to accommodate two handed use! Weight 35.4 oz. Handle 30" Long Straight Grain Hickory Steel / Material 1055 Carbon Overall 30" This is an item from the Cold Steel program in 2019.
