Unleash the warrior within with the Cold Steel Man at Arms Hand-and-a-Half Sword, a weapon crafted for power, versatility, and unmatched performance.

Exceptional Design and Craftsmanship:

Blade: Forged from 1055 high-carbon steel, the blade is razor-sharp and honed to a cutting-edge finish, combining durability with cutting efficiency. Its blackened anti-rust coating not only provides rugged charm but ensures resilience in harsh conditions.
Hilt: The leather-wrapped wooden grip offers a secure and comfortable hold, enhancing your control during combat practice, sparring, or display. Its classic crossguard and steel pommel balance the sword beautifully for responsive handling.
Sheath: Comes with a rugged, durable scabbard with steel fittings, ensuring secure storage and carrying options.

Perfect for All Warriors:
Whether you’re a collector, a HEMA practitioner, or a reenactor, the Hand-and-a-Half Sword embodies historical authenticity and modern reliability. It’s ideal for dynamic two-handed strikes yet agile enough for single-handed maneuvers when paired with a shield.

Description

Cold Steel has quickly established itself as a leading name in functional, affordable reproduction swords and knives. Their products are perfect for reenactors or anyone who enjoys using traditional tools for outdoor activities.

The “Man at Arms” was a dependable and skilled warrior, renowned for his martial expertise and experience. Though not a Knight, he trained and fought alongside them as a trusted comrade. In tribute to these rugged and reliable warriors, Cold Steel has introduced the Man at Arms Collection—a line of durable and practical weapons designed for journeymen at heart.

These swords stand out for their purpose-driven design, trading polished silver steel and mirror-bright finishes for raw functionality. Despite their understated appearance, the Man at Arms Collection delivers exceptional performance comparable to Cold Steel’s premium offerings—at a fraction of the price.

Featuring fully sharpened, blued steel blades with a striking gunmetal finish, these swords complement their black leather handles. When properly maintained, their dark elegance truly shines. If you’ve always wanted a Cold Steel sword but found them beyond your budget, the Man at Arms collection offers a high-value alternative.

The CS88GMS Grosse Messer Sword from this line is a stellar example, pairing outstanding craftsmanship with the rugged, no-nonsense appeal of the Man at Arms Collection.

We are a UK company, making & designing knives since 1984.
