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.
