We would be hard pressed to think of a more versatile or effective sword than the "Bastard Sword" or "Hand-and-a-Half Sword" offered here. For a sword of this size , the Hand-and-a-Half Sword by Cold Steel is amazingly light and fast and tips the scales at approximately 3 lbs. The Hand-and-a-Half Sword by Cold Steel has a 33 1/2" long blade that is quite wide so it can produce deep shearing type cuts yet pointed enough to be effective in a thrusting attack. The Hand-and-a-Half Sword by Cold Steel has a long handle that is suitable for both a one or two handed grip and is fashioned out of wood covered in black leather. To balance the long blade the butt is capped with a beautiful "scent stopper" pommel which can be a lethal weapon in its own right. Every Hand-and-a-Half Sword reflects the highest standards in workmanship and materials and comes fully sharpened and ready for battle! To safely house the blade a very attractive scabbard made of wood covered with black leather and steel throat and chape is also included.
This is a high quality , high performance sword made by Cold Steel, which you can proudly use and display.
