Competition cutting sword, medieval sword for cutting tests



While cutting tests with Japanese swords have been popular for many decades, even in competitions, until recently little to no attention has been paid to exploring the cutting potential of Western swords. With the growing interest, Cold Steel® is helping this discipline flourish and is now offering its own sword for cutting test tournaments.



Cold Steels® Competition Cutting Sword is loosely based on the Arbedo Sword and is designed for cutting competitions using ropes, mail rolls, tatami mats and similar "soft" materials. The thin, wide, double-edged blade made from 1055 carbon steel has been tempered to spring hardness, fully honed and polished.



The sturdy leather-covered wooden handle offers the possibility to wield the competition cutting sword with one or two hands and ensures maximum control and leverage even for more demanding tricks. To protect your fingers and protect you from enemy swords, the sword is equipped with a steel crossguard that is as simple as it is effective. A beautiful diamond-shaped flared steel pommel provides a nice counterbalance to the broad blade.



The scope of delivery includes a robust black leather sheath with steel bezel and muzzle plate.



1055 carbon steel

The carbon content and relatively low levels of other materials in this steel make it a very stable material, free of the brittleness inherent in most high carbon steels. This steel is ideal for blades that need to have a high impact resistance and is therefore often used for large fixed knives, machetes and swords.
