The era of the long sword spanned almost three centuries (approximately 1350 to 1650). This, undoubtedly, was because it really worked! It featured a distinctive cruciform hilt and a long, double edged blade and was equally adept at opposing both light and heavily armored foes. You see, its extra long blade offered the reach and leverage for powerful stabbing, cutting and chopping strokes while its long cross guard and heavy pommel were useful for hooking, striking and smashing. When heavy plate armour was encountered, blows with the edge were marginally effective and were often abandoned in favour of a "Half-Swording" technique; where one hand grips the hilt and the other the blade to better direct the point in powerful jabs, and to more accurately thrust at the small gaps and joints present in a suit of armour. Having read S.M. Sterling's "Change" series of science fiction novels about a world that loses 600 years of technological evolution overnight (an event called "The Change") at least a dozen times each, has left the President of Cold Steel, Lynn C. Thompson, quite taken with the many virtues of the Long Sword and inspired him to make a Cold Steel variation. Modeled on the Italian concept of sword design, the blade and balance slightly favors thrusting attacks, however, its cutting edges are astonishingly effective too and can deliver some down right ferocious blows. Additionally, its simple cruciform hilt is also all business with a long upturned cross guard, leather-over-wood grip, and a counter balancing fish tail pommel. Fast as a frog¹s tongue the Italian Sword is deadly in a fight and built like a tank. Since the Italian Long Sword is light and well balanced enough to use in one hand we thought we'd offer a companion dagger to take the place of a shield, targe or buckler. Scaled down in size but almost identical in appearance its sharply tapered, double edged blade slightly favors attacks with the point over the edge and is stiff and strong enough to parry any sword. Details: Weight: approx. 485 g Overall Length: approx. 49 cm Blade Length: approx. 32.4 cm Blade Material: 1055 Carbon Handle Length: approx. 16 cm Scabbard: Leather Scabbard with steel fittings This dagger fits to the Italian Long Sword # 13857.

A few years ago, Cold Steel® launched a new line of high-quality Japanese swords under the name Emperor series. The customer response was extremely positive, but the thought arose that there are also lovers of Asian naked weapons who want to buy a combat-ready sword at a cheaper price.The introduction of the Warrior series was the logical answer to this demand. Like the Emperor swords, the models in the Warrior collection are made of 1060 high-performance steel. The hardening and sharpness of the blades are also identical. In order to reduce the production costs, the elaborate high-gloss polishing was dispensed with and a more appropriate finish was chosen. The Warrior collection is the perfect choice to train and perform cut tests (Tameshigiri) without damaging the blade. Details: Thickness 5/16" Blade Length 21” Handle 11 1/4" Long Steel / Material 1060 Carbon Overall 32 1/4" Additional Feature Samé (Ray Skin) Handle with Black Braid Cord and Brass Menuki. Black Lacquered Wood Scabbard. This is an item from the Cold Steel program in 2020.
