MAA TWO HANDED GREAT SWORD 88WGSM COLD STEEL
These practical and battle ready swords lack the gleaming blades and polished silver steelwork of our other swords, but they pack a resounding punch where it counts! Approximating the quality and performance of our high end swords, the Man at Arms (MAA) collection features a selection of some of our finest high performance blades but at a markedly reduced price. Their fully sharpened and blued blades have a distinctive protective gun metal finish that compliments their black leather handles, and when well-oiled they are gleamingly true weapons of art.

To protect the hands from opposing weapons, the MAA Great Sword features an extra-large guard with side rings and integral parrying hooks as well as a sturdy leather "secondary handle" that allows the wielder to "choke up" on the blade, shortening it for close range slashing and stabbing attacks.

The sharpened blade measures 39 7/8 inches and is forged from tough 1055 carbon steel with a hard spring temper. Its long handle is fashioned out of wood covered in black leather. To balance the Great Sword's long blade the butt is capped with a "scent stopper" style pommel and the blade tang is secured into place with a pommel nut. The guard and pommel are coated in matching blued finish while the blade ricasso is wrapped in black leather. Weighing in at 7 lb 3.3 oz, this Cold Steel monster of a sword measures a whopping 55 1/2 inches overall. "Meet my leathal friend"
