Cold Steel Swords

Click here to return to Cold Steel SwordsOver the past two decades we have received numerous requests from our customers asking us to produce a line of swords. During this period, we have tried to honor these requests and have made numerous prototypes but at the critical testing stage, all fell short of our expectations.

Now we are delighted to announce we have finally found a small factory in China capable of making real battle worthy swords that meet our standards and expectations for strength, cutting power, and most importantly, workmanship.

Each sword blade is hand forged out of AUS 1050 spring steel and individually heat treated, tempered and polished by skilled hands.

Please don't mistake these swords for that "just for show" junk sold by our competitors or in the martial arts magazines. These ARE the genuine article; real, battle-ready weapons that you can bet your life on.

Please note: All out-of-stock swords are considered special order, please call for availability & allow extra time for shipping.

COLD STEEL 88CS 1917 CUTLASS - In 1917, the U.S. Navy decided to replace its Model 1860 cutlass which had been in continuous service for 57 years, with a new model. Cold Steel’s® modern recreation of this classic fighting sword is as authentic as possible, it is virtually an exact copy of an original in the personal collection of Cold Steel President, Lynn C. Thompson. Our 1917 Cutlass features the signature 25" curved blade and a half basket guard that’s stamped out of heavy 18-guage high carbon steel, and both the blade and guard are blued to resist rusting. The handle is made from carefully shaped hardwood, painted brown and secured to the tang by three heavy brass cutler’s rivets.

Part #: CS-88HNH
Quantity   
Regular Price: $399.99
On Sale! $249.99
COLD STEEL 88HNH HAND-AND-A-HALF SWORD - We would be hard pressed to think of a more versatile or effective sword than the "Bastard" or "Hand-and-a-Half Sword" we offer here. For a sword of this size, it's amazingly light and fast and tips the scales at approximately 3 lbs. Its 33 1/2" long blade is quite wide so it can produce deep shearing type cuts yet pointed enough to be effective in a thrusting attack. Its long handle is suitable for both a one or two handed grip and is fashioned out of wood covered in black leather. To balance the long blade we have capped the butt with a beautiful "scent stopper" pommel which can be a lethal weapon in its own right.

Part #: CS-88S

Regular Price: $379.99
On Sale! $236.99
COLD STEEL 88S 1796 LIGHT CAVALRY SABER - This saber was widely used by the British and their Prussian allies under General Blucher in the Battle of Waterloo. The blade was derived from the ferocious Indian Talwar and was reviled by the French who protested its use due to the horribly destructive wounds it inflicted. In fact, this saber was so successful as a cutting weapon, that the German Cavalry continued to use it right up to the beginning of the 20th century! If you want a combat quality saber that will pass the British Proof Test and is fully capable of shearing off arms and even legs with a single blow, this is a must have! It comes fully sharpened with a wood and leather scabbard with steel mounts. The 1796 Light Cavalry Saber comes with a wood/leather scabbard. The Scabbard features steel mounts and fittings.

CS-88VS Cold Steel Viking Sword
Part #: CS-88VS
Quantity   
Regular Price: $424.99
On Sale! $264.99
COLD STEEL 88VS VIKING SWORD - The typical Viking sword of the 9th and 10th centuries featured a long wide blade with a broad central fuller and two keen edges. The preferred stroke was a hard slash or chopping blow, so the point was fairly rounded but was just acute enough to be useful for thrusting. A simple guard with forward curving quillions was often utilized and combined with an equally utilitarian wooden handle that was covered with leather, bone, or even cast in brass.

Quantity   
Regular Price: $549.99

CS-88SMS Cold Steel Small Sword
Part #: CS-88SMS
Quantity   
Regular Price: $424.99
On Sale! $264.99
COLD STEEL SMALL SWORD - The advantage of the sword point over the edge became increasingly evident by the end of the 16th century. The Rapier, with its long, elegantly thin profile which emphasized its point, became the popular choice in civilian self-defense. It was however a somewhat unwieldy weapon especially when it was used in narrow, crowded streets and alleyways. Eventually a more sophisticated, shorter and lighter version emerged that by the end of the 17th century had evolved into an entirely new weapon, the Small Sword.

CS-88ND Cold Steel Naval Dirk
Part #: CS-88ND
Quantity   
Regular Price: $189.99
On Sale! $125.99
COLD STEEL 88ND NAVAL DIRK - During the golden age of sail, the Naval Dirk was a common sight on port town streets or on the windswept quarterdecks of a British Man of War. Worn daily by young mid shipmen and officers alike, it was often beautifully made and richly decorated. It was never simply a fashion accessory though; it was a very dangerous and lethal weapon. At sea, it made for a very effective slashing or stabbing tool that could be used independently or in combination with a cutlass, sword or saber.

CS-88SD Cold Steel Scottish Dirk
Part #: CS-88SD
Quantity   
Regular Price: $189.99
On Sale! $125.99
COLD STEEL 88SD SCOTTISH DIRK - The Scottish Dirk that most knife enthusiasts are familiar with these days is, more or less, a piece of rubbish— a prop—a costume accessory for stage and screen. It’s declined into a “knife like object” that people hang above their mantles or on the walls of dimly lit, wood-paneled dens. Our version is a modern replica that harkens back to an earlier form, when the dirk was a functioning tool and weapon. The 13" blade is forged to a hard spring temper from 1055 Carbon steel. It’s 11/2" wide and comes fully sharpened and battle-ready, prepared to hew down any foe.

CS-88B Cold Steel Bagua
Part #: CS-88B
Quantity   
Regular Price: $459.99
On Sale! $286.99
COLD STEEL 88B BAGUA - A substantially larger version of our Willow Leaf Sword, the Bagua, or two handed saber, was a ferocious weapon on the battle field and a valuable training tool in the practice hall. Its blade, at 31" is significantly longer than its smaller brother and proportionally wider and thicker as well. This increase in size, when combined with a full two handed grip, give this saber enormous cutting and slashing power on the battle field and helped promote strength and agility as a man skilled in the use of the Bagua was an even more fearsome opponent when armed with a lighter and more agile weapon.

Quantity   
Regular Price: $349.99
On Sale! $217.99
COLD STEEL 88BF BUTTERFLY SWORDS - Prior to World War II, the Butterfly Sword was virtually unknown outside of southern China. This changed at the close of the 1940’s, when the Communists took control of mainland China, forcing many Kung Fu masters to flee the oppressive regime and establish new schools elsewhere. Currently, due to the spread of Kung Fu, these once obscure swords have become quite popular.
