Italian long sword with scabbard - Man-at-Arms series

Italian longsword - Man at Arms with leather sheath

The Italian longsword from the Man at Arms (MAA) series by Cold Steel® is an impressive reconstruction of a classic medieval sword that is equally suitable for combat and historical collection. It carries on the tradition of the valiant "Man-at-Arms" - warriors who proved themselves in countless battles, but without the status of knights. These soldiers were known for their unwavering loyalty and courage, and Cold Steel® honours these warriors with this sword collection that is both high quality and affordable.

Compared to Cold Steel®'s premium versions, the MAA longsword features a blued blade and black handles for a functional yet aesthetically pleasing look. Although the MAA blades have no silver-polished steel parts, they fulfil the highest standards of performance and quality. These blades are fully sharpened and battle-ready, with a robust yet elegant design that reflects the sharpness and functionality of a true longsword.

The longsword from the MAA series has a long tradition and was the favoured sword in medieval Europe for almost 300 years (approx. 1350 to 1650). The double-edged blade is ideal for use against both light and heavy armour. Particularly noteworthy is the reach of the blade, which enables powerful thrusts and cuts, while the long crossguard and heavy pommel act as striking weapons and can throw the opponent off balance. The half-sword technique, in which the swordsman grasps the blade with one hand, makes it possible to stab precisely into gaps in the armour.

The MAA Italian longsword was modelled on classic Italian designs, with the emphasis on thrusting attacks. Nevertheless, the cutting edges are surprisingly effective and make the sword a versatile weapon for swordplay. The simple yet functional crossguard and the balanced fishtail pommel round off the design perfectly.

Included is a high-quality leather sheath with blued steel fittings, which keeps the sword safe and stylish at the same time.
