Product information "Man at Arms Collection: English Bill"

Like a surprising amount of historical battlefield weapons, the English Bill or "Bill Hook" owes its origins to agricultural use. This ancient forestry tool was used by peasants to hook creeping vines and hard-to-reach branches, clear foliage and - when necessary - even lop heavy limbs from trees. It didn't take much imagination to see the fighting applications of this heavy duty tool.

As it saw more and more use in combat, the Bill began to evolve into a dedicated fighter. Its next incarnation, with its sharpened edges and hooking blades was fast, agile and ferocious. A good Bill in the right hands could hook, entangle, thrust, stab, slice and chop with equal ease and oppose even heavily armed and mounted opponents. An armed force, wielding row after row of these weapons was fearsome to behold!

The English Bill represents the highest quality battlefield evolution of this formidable tool. With a fully sharpened battle-ready blade spike and hook, supported by an extra deep steel socket and our stout Boar Spear shaft.

Man at Arms Collection: Sergeant's Halberd

Cold Steels company President Lynn C Thompson has long been fascinated by Pole Arms, Spears and Halberds. The Sergeant's Halberd is often seen as a ceremonial item, carried as a badge of rank by officers and NCOs alike in the 18th and 19th Century, it was a much feared weapon of war as well. Unlike its heavy-duty brethren (see Swiss Halberd #86009) the Sergeant's Halberd was actually developed during the age of firearms and was designed to face foes with less protective armor. Lighter, faster and more maneuverable, the Sergeant's Halberd is a deceptively quick and astonishingly effective weapon. Cold Steels interpretation of the Sergeant's Halberd is representative of the battlefield incarnation of this historical tool. Though it features costly but attractive embellishments and ornamentation, it is a true warrior through and though. Fully sharpened and surprisingly rugged and durable, it can be used as a spear for thrusting, a hook to catch, trap and entangle and as a cutting tool to chop, cut and slice! The Sergeant's Halberd is a perfect addition to the collection of any historical re-enactor or Western Martial Artist and it makes a terrifically effective emergency self-defense tool when your life is on the line. Details: Overall Length: approx. 216.5 cm Head Length: approx. 54 cm Head Width: approx. 30.5 cm Handle Length: approx. 162.6 cm Head Material: 1055 Carbon Handle Material: Ash Wood Weight (All): approx. 1780.4 g Weight (Head): approx. 918.5 g This is an item from the Cold Steel program in 2014.

Man at Arms Collection: Swiss Halberd

The Swiss have a reputation as a nation of riflemen. This is because men of military age are required to keep a battle rifle and ammunition at home. This, however, is a relatively more recent development. For three hundred years, starting in the 12th Century, the Swiss were widely feared for the terrible havoc they could wreak upon the battlefield with their infamous halberd! The Swiss Halberd effectively combined the finest attributes of the spear, battle axe and hook into one devastating weapon. It was able to pierce the thickest steel armor, and pulverize a sturdy helmet or shield. The Halberd's "beak" could also be used to drag a heavily armored Knight from his mount to be summarily butchered by the Halberd wielders brothers in arms. The Cold Steel Swiss Halberd is almost identical to its heavy duty historical counterpart, except that this is made from modern materials. Featuring a fully sharpened spike, axe blade and beak (hook) it is a multi-faceted weapon that can hack, stab or entangle even a heavily armed and armored opponent. Details: Overall Length: approx. 227.3 cm Head Length: approx. 61.6 cm Head Width: approx. 30.5 cm Handle Length: approx. 165.1 cm Head Material: 1055 Carbon Handle Material: Ash Wood Weight (All): approx. 2790 g Weight (Head): approx. 1428.8 g This is an item from the Cold Steel program in 2014.

Man At Arms Collection: Lance Point Spear

The Lance Point is (as its name suggests) a formidable weapon when used from horseback. Historically it was used by German, French, British and Indian cavalry troops and could punch through armor and transfix adversaries with ease. Throughout Cold Steels research and development testing they were consistently astounded by the penetrative power of the Lance Points hollow ground, spring tempered triangular blade. Puncturing hard targets with the slightest effort and inflicting a devastating entry wound, it was fast, lively in hand and incredibly effective whether used from horseback, on foot or even thrown into appropriate targets! Details: Overall Length: approx. 203.2 cm Head Length: approx. 40.6 cm Handle Length: approx. 162.6 cm Head Material: 1055 Carbon Handle Material: Ash Wood Weight (All): approx. 1207.7 g Weight (Head): approx. 346 g This is an item from the Cold Steel program in 2014.

Man at Arms Collection: Classic Leaf Shape Spear

A true classic, the leaf shaped spear is found throughout history and across the globe. It was used for hunting and warfare for hundreds of years by many nations - and with good reason, it worked! The long socket imports a great deal of strength, reinforcing the central ridge of the head, while the extra wide double cutting edges and stout point puncture well and inflict a huge wound channel. With a multitude of battlefield and hunting applications, the leaf shaped spear was not only lightweight and maneuverable, but also suitable for throwing, thrusting and slashing. The modern interpretation of the leaf shaped spear features a fully sharpened carbon steel blade with a hard spring temper and a premium American ash shaft. Details: Overall Length: approx. 206 cm Head Height: approx. 43.2 cm Handle Length: approx. 162.6 cm Head Material: 1055 Carbon Handle Material: Ash Wood Weight (All): approx. 1414.7 g Weight (Head): approx. 552.8 g This is an item from the Cold Steel program in 2014.
