Chinese Sword Breaker

Enjoy Chinese Sword Breaker

Break Chinese swords with sheath



With their rectangular, sometimes hollow blade cross-section and razor-sharp edges, ancient Chinese swordbreakers were ideal for perfectly delivering strikes with maximum impact. Basically, such strikes could launch the opponent’s sword so far away that he had virtually no chance of quickly retrieving it to defend himself. At best, swordbreakers lived up to their name and could break or bend conventional swords and many other weapons in one blow – or render them unusable! In both cases they were absolutely powerless against the formidable and merciless spearhead of the swordbreaker. Fortunately, very few had to face this absolute powerhouse in battle, because due to its size and weight, only fighters with above-average strength and agility could properly wield the swordbreaker. But in the hands of a physically strong and experienced warrior, it was the scourge of the battlefield in hand-to-hand combat.



When designing the replica of this unique and rare weapon, Cold Steel® was inspired by an original antique piece that they had the privilege of collecting and examining in China. Cold Steel®'s stable, solid wooden handle has a knurled section that ensures a secure grip and is fitted with beautiful cast nickel silver fittings. The round guard blade has detailed decorations and the majestic five-lobed pommel forms a perfect counterweight to the blade, making it easy to move. The beautiful 1055 carbon steel blade features a traditional rectangular cross-section and a hollow ground blade surface.

This sword breaker is very popular with martial artists and historical reenactors alike. It is both a beautiful collector's piece and a battle-ready instrument that is sure to be a conversation piece.



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.
