A Warrior’s Staple: Hand and a Half Sword
Medieval fans can get ready for battle with Cold Steel’s Hand and a Half Sword. Popularly known by blade experts as “Bastard Swords”, this type of sword is one of the most commonly used swords in battle because of its incredible versatility in fighting styles and stances. Not only can it wield with either one or both hands, the sword is also light at 3 lbs.
Of course, the weight does not lessen the sword’s capacity to inflict sharp cuts. And since it is light, this fully sharpened sword is effective in fast slashes or thrusting type attacks. Even the handle, which is a long wooden grip covered in elegant black leather comes with a pommel shaped like a scent stopper, can be used as a weapon.
While the sword is indeed a potentially useful one, Cold Steel takes care to provide an equally sturdy yet beautiful wooden scabbard designed with black leather and tipped with steel throat for optimum safekeeping. With both effectiveness and safety kept in check, the Hand and a Half Sword is indeed a well manufactured medieval sword.
