The medieval weapons squire. Krieger) was a brave, loyal fighter full of warrior heroism, who mastered a variety of weapons with great skill. He was a veteran of countless battles, often the first to charge into the fray, and although he was not a knight, he fought and trained alongside them as a comrade in arms. In honor of these rugged, dedicated foot soldiers, Cold Steel® has created the "Man at Arms" weapon collection. Compared to Cold Steel's® premium offerings, these combat-ready weapons may lack the usual shiny blades and silver-polished steel elements, but in quality and performance, the MAA series products come close to the other products. The fully sharpened, blued blades are characterized by their unmistakable gun-metal look, which harmonizes perfectly with the black handles. And when properly oiled, they reveal their inherent, radiant beauty. The "Man at Arms" collection offers a selection of some of the finest Cold Steel® blades, but at a significantly lower price. If you have always wanted to own a Cold Steel® edged weapon but have never been able to afford one, then this collection is perfect for you
In German lands as Large Knife Well-known, this sword was used in ancient times throughout Central and Northern Europe alike by nobles and peasants to protect home and hearth from highwaymen, murderers, brigands, and other unsavory characters. Thanks to its stately, wide blade and generously designed handle, it could be wielded with one or two hands. This even made it possible to cut through chainmail or to cleave a man in half with a single blow. This version of this simple and elegant, yet particularly powerful weapon features a sharp blade hand-forged from carbon steel. The guard and the imposing pommel are made of blued steel. The wooden handle scales are riveted to the tang forged all the way to the pommel
A sturdy, beautiful leather sheath ensures comfort and safety. Matching the guard and pommel, the scabbard is reinforced with a chape and a throat made of blued steel
1055 carbon steel
The carbon content and the relatively low levels of other substances in this steel make it a very stable material that is free from the brittleness inherent in most higher-carbon steels. This steel is ideal for blades that require high impact resistance and is therefore often used for large fixed-blade knives, machetes, and swords
