Cold Steel MAA Arming Sword

Double-edged one-handed sword from the Man-At-Arms collection, modeled after weapons from the mid-14th to early 15th century. Classified as type XVIIIa in the Ewart Oakeshott typology, created by the eminent European blades expert. Featuring a robust blade design with an elongated point, this sword is ideal for rigorous cutting and thrusting drills.

Featuring a sharp, double-edged blade measuring 692 mm in length with a thickness of 5.2 mm, forged from 1090 spring steel renowned for its exceptional impact resistance and flexibility. Integrating two hallmark design elements of type XVIIIa swords, the blade incorporates a narrow, double-sided fuller as well as a pronounced ridge extending from the blade’s midpoint to the tip. An oxidation process is applied to the blade surface, increasing the steel’s protection against corrosion. The sword has been completely polished for a refined finish.

A 171 mm long handle features a steel, extended cross guard designed to shield the swordsman's hand and prevent slipping onto the blade. The grip, encased in black leather and enhanced with raised protrusions, offers superior anti-slip performance. A steel pommel with a circular cross-section is mounted at the handle’s end, acting as a counterbalance to the blade.

A wooden scabbard encased in black leather, featuring a full sword suite. The top fitting and the chape are both crafted from oxidized steel.

Blade edge is highly sharpened—strictly unsuitable for sparring or combat drills!
