Chinese Swordsman with Scabbard 88CSB

Cold Steel has designed an impressive replica of the Swordbreaker, a weapon used by ancient Chinese swordsmen. This weapon is characterized by having a rectangular, sometimes hollow, cross section with sharp edges, which allowed the sword to be perfectly positioned for maximum impact. The blade is made of 1055 carbon steel and has a rectangular cross section and hollow blade mirrors that pack the weapon's unparalleled power. The cutting edge is sharp and can easily pierce even the thickest plate armor.

Cold Steel's modern replica has a sturdy, fluted rosewood handle that feels comfortable and snug in the hand, accented with cast nickel silver fittings. The rounded stitch plate has detailed embellishments, and the stately five-way pommel is a perfect counterbalance to the blade, making it easier to swing.

Due to its size and weight, only fighters with above-average strength and agility can properly wield the Swordbreaker. However, in the hands of a physically strong and experienced warrior, it is the bane of the battlefield in hand-to-hand combat. This weapon is very popular among martial artists and historical reenactors, being also a collector's item and a ready-to-use combat instrument.

The blade has a total length of around 97.2 cm and a blade length of around 76.2 cm. It has a blade thickness of 15 mm and the handle is around 21 cm long, made of rosewood with nickel silver fittings. The weight of this Swordbreaker is around 1454 g. The scabbard is also made of rosewood with nickel silver fittings.

In short, the Cold Steel 88CSB Swordbreaker replica is a masterpiece of modern craftsmanship and engineering, with an excellent combination of beauty and functionality. Its design and features make it both a collector's item and a ready-to-use combat weapon.
