High quality, extremely collectible handmade knives since the 1800s.
SHOP CASE KNIVESCold Steel proudly presents the Norman Sword, a modern homage to the weapon wielded by the Norman warriors who changed history at the Battle of Hastings in 1066. Drawing inspiration from authentic medieval designs, this sword features a long, wide blade with twin sharpened edges and a practical broad point, making it as formidable as it is functional.
Forged from 1060 carbon steel, the 30-inch double-edged blade is both durable and precise. A single broad fuller runs down the center of the blade, strategically reducing its weight while enhancing balance and providing the stiffness necessary to endure demanding use. This thoughtful construction ensures the sword is light and responsive, allowing for one-handed handling without compromising its effectiveness.
The Norman Sword’s hilt is a nod to historical accuracy and ergonomic design. It boasts upturned, spatulated quillions that offer excellent hand protection and a leather-wrapped wooden grip for a secure hold. The pommel, a modified "cocked hat" style, not only balances the blade but also serves as a secondary weapon if needed. Its distinctive design allows for additional hand space, making it practical for extended use in combat or display.
Measuring 37.25 inches overall and weighing 38.5 ounces, this sword combines impressive reach with a manageable weight for versatility in any scenario. It comes complete with a leather-and-wood scabbard featuring steel fittings, ensuring the blade is protected and ready for transport or display.
Whether you're a collector, a historical reenactor, or simply an enthusiast of finely crafted weapons, the Cold Steel Norman Sword delivers a balance of beauty, functionality, and authenticity. Its design pays tribute to the past while employing modern materials and craftsmanship to meet the standards of today.
