Competition Cutting Sword

The Winged Spear is a true product of the battlefield. Its blade is wide and sharp enough to almost double as a pole arm, while its pronounced wings can be used to trap and pin an opponent's limbs, snag his shield and parry and entangle his weapons. After countless hours of sparring and experimentation Cold Steels company President Lynn Thompson and his training partners found many subtle nuances to this surprisingly versatile weapon. Lynn found that the more time you spend "making it your own" the more great opportunities present themselves when sparring and fighting. The head of the Winged Spear even made an effective parrying dagger and short sword on its own! If you train in Martial Arts, study battlefield arts or have a passion for historical re-enactment, we heartily recommend purchasing a Winged Spear by Cold Steel.

A fully armed 13th Century Knight was a true power, capable of plowing through a multitude of opponents while encased in his state of the art plate armor that could shed, deflect or absorb the blows of many of his foes. Enter the War Hammer- an ideal weapon for use against an opponent who is encased in plate steel. The heavy hammer head could crush the strongest helmet or suit of plate armor with just a few blows and the back spike could rip through helm and plate like a modern can opener! In battle, the hammer side was usually employed first to knock down and stun an enemy. Once he was on the ground, helpless, the hammer was reversed and the back spike was used to punch a hole through the helmet and deliver the coup de grace. Now Cold Steel brings you an inexpensive, yet highly effective, recreation of this awesome weapon. Weighing a little over 1120 g, the War Hammer is highly maneuverable and can be easily wielded with one or both hands. The head is drop forged out of 1055 steel and differentially heat treated. This means the point of the spike and enormous hammer face (approx. 3.8 cm x 3.8 cm) are fully hardened so they can pierce and crush tough materials without failing while the rest of the hammer is left soft to absorb the shock of heavy blows. The handle of this War Hammer has been designed to be equally tough. Made of straight grain American Hickory and measuring approx. 76 cm long it provides tremendous leverage so enormously powerful blows may be struck. To protect the handle from assault by an opponent armed with an edged weapon we have included a pair of sturdy steel langets which can be attached below the head with the screws provided. (Some assembly is required. Instructions are included). Details: Overall Length: approx. 76.2 cm Hammer Face: approx. 3.8 cm x 3.8 cm Head Width: approx. 18.7 cm Handle Length: approx. 76.2 cm Blade Material: Drop forged 1055 Carbon Handle Material: Straight grain hickory Weight: approx. 1128.3 g This is an item from the Cold Steel program in 2014.

Hungary by virtue of its position on the world map is a country that straddles the cultural influence of both the East and the West. This influence is, of course, directly echoed in Hungarian weapons. The Hungarian Saber is primarily a cutting, slashing weapon mostly used from horseback although thrusting with it on foot was not unknown. The blade of our saber is made from 1055 high carbon steel with a hard spring temper. It has a hatchet point making it wider at the tip or point than at the guard. The guard of our saber has very wide sturdy quillons. The wider quillons offer greater protection to the hand and forearm. Also because of their greater width, a skilled swordsman can catch a blow aimed at his hand, wrist, or forearms with a minor twist of his wrist as the long quillons cover a lot of real estate and minimal movement by the defender is all that is required to block the path of an oncoming blade. The leather scabbard is, in a word, gorgeous. Its fittings are attractively arranged and provide a light, bright contrast to its black leather base. Blade Thickness: 5mm Handle Length/Material: 6in Handle Blade Steel: 1055 Carbon Steel Blade Length: 31in Overall Length: 37in This is an item from the Cold Steel program in 2021.

The Man at Arms was a warrior, pure and simple. A stalwart and dependable fighter who exhibited great martial prowess with a range of weapons. He was a capable and competent warrior who was the veteran of many conflicts and was often first into the fray.

To honor these rugged, reliable, salt-of-the-earth warriors Cold Steel had created a range of true journeyman’s weapons that they have called the Man at Arms Collection.
