Cold Steel - English Backsword
Was für eine tapfere Waffe ist ein kurzes, scharfes, leichtes Schwert, um zu tragen, zu ziehen, geschickt zu sein, zu schlagen, zu schneiden, stark und schnell zu stossen - Paradoxes of Defense, George Silver, 1599.
Cold Steel® proudly expands its range with its own interpretation of an English "Mortuary Sword" with basket handle made of 17. century. This agile one-handed sword is modeled after historical originals. It is fast, agile, and provides pure enjoyment during training. With this beautiful sword, quick and effective strikes are also possible from the wrist. At Cold Steel®, it is already very popular with the team and has been declared one of their favorite one-handers by the staff.
The English backsword is made of 1055 carbon steel and has been lightly patinated to create an antique finish. Each sword comes fully sharpened and is delivered with an intricately decorated sheath made of leather and steel.
With this great piece, any HEMA martial artist or historical reenactor can enhance their collection.
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
