Cold Steel Wakizashi (Emperor Series) (CS-88W)

Designed by noted swordsman Luke LaFontaine and bearing his name, the LaFontaine Sword of War combines elements of a 16th Century Sword of War with a Complex Hilt Longsword. Not carried on a belt or baldric, rather it was held in hand, rested on the shoulder or simply carried by a manservant or page. Designed primarily for battlefield combat, it wa... mores almost as big as a Zweihander or a Great Sword; with a long double edged blade, elaborate ring guards, counter guards and peaked quillons, a closed ricasso for looping a finger through the cross for added control, and a heavy counter-balancing pommel that made a fearsome weapon in its own right! A versatile and complex weapon with many advantages that should be apparent to any Historical European Martial Artist, it was also a symbol of prestige that said much about the status and prowess of its wielder. Made in our signature Man at Arms style, the LaFontaine Sword of War features a 1050 Carbon Steel blade that has been deeply blued to an inky black sheen. The LaFontaine Sword of War is fully sharpened and supplied complete with a thick leather and steel scabbard.

Our iconic Two Handed Great Sword is one of the biggest swords we make. But dont let its size fool you! There is nothing awkward or clumsy about this awesome sword. Sure, its big and meant to be carried over the shoulder instead of in a scabbard, but its extremely well balanced and easily wielded by people of larger stature and physical strength. T... morehe Great Sword features a large guard with side rings and integral parrying hooks that allow the blade to be choked up on for closer range sword techniques. The leather covered wooden handle comfortably affords a full two-handed grip, and is capped by a heavy steel pommel that helps counter balance its long blade. If youre looking for the ultimate in big, beastly and battle ready blades - your search is over! This sword does not include a scabbard.
