Norman sword with scabbard



Like their famous sword, the Normans’ unbridled fighting spirit and insatiable greed for land and riches undoubtedly dates back to their Viking ancestors, who, under the leadership of Rollo, liberated their future home of Normandy from the hands of north-western France in 911 AD under Charles the Simple (Peace Treaty of Saint-Clair-sur-Epte). However, the Normans were never satisfied with their lot, and so it was not long until they took their broad, double-edged swords back into their hands and crossed the English Channel to conquer Britain; a campaign that culminated in the famous Battle of Hastings in 1066 AD.



Cold Steel® now offers a battle-ready version of these famous swords. Like the thoroughly examined originals, this sword also features a long, broad blade with razor-sharp edges. To keep weight to a minimum and ensure comfortable one-handed use, Cold Steel® has designed the center of the blade with a unique, wide, weight-saving groove, which also provides greater balance and gives the blade the strength it needs to withstand heavy blows.

With its downward-curving crossguard with chisel-shaped ends, leather-covered wooden handle and tricorn pommel, the hilt of the cold steel® Norman broadsword is also reminiscent of several surviving original pieces. The shape of the pommel was deliberately chosen: this pommel leaves more room for the hand, forms a good counterweight for the blade and can serve as a striking weapon.



A leather-covered wooden sheath with steel hardware is included.
