Italian longsword with scabbard

For those interested in the history of weapons, the era of the longsword is certainly one of the most interesting periods. This type of sword, which was used from about 1350 to 1650, was formidable and effective in battle. Thanks to its crossbeam, a long double-edged blade, and its ability to strike at both lightly and heavily armored opponents, the Italian longsword became a highly valued and feared tool of war on the battlefield.

The Italian longsword was an excellent tool due to its long reach and leverage, allowing swordsmen to perform powerful slashing and stabbing blows. Additionally, its long cross and heavy pommel could be used as striking weapons and hooks to either throw an opponent off balance or control their weapon. When it came to penetrating heavy plate armor, the half-sword technique was preferable and consisted of the swordsman holding the handle with one hand and hugging the blade with the other, in order to more purposefully direct the sword's tip and more accurately pierce the gaps and joints of the knight's armor.

Today, the 88ITS Italian Longsword with Sharp Functional Scabbard designed by Cold Steel is a reconstruction of the ancient Italian swords. The blade and center of gravity are designed for shock attacks, while the cutting edges are highly effective. The cross-shaped hilt with its long, downward-turned guard, leather-covered wooden handle, and balanced fishtail pommel, make this sword an effective tool for fighting.

The Italian longsword comes with a functional leather-covered wooden scabbard with steel fittings. Its overall length is approximately 119.4 cm, with a handle length of 29.2 cm and a blade length of 90.2 cm. The weight is around 1273g, making it easy to handle in any situation.

In addition to the above, the design and overall quality of this sword is guaranteed by its manufacturer Cold Steel, a leader in high-quality swords, knives, and tactical tools. In short, the 88ITS Italian Longsword with Sharp Functional Scabbard is a formidable, durable, and well-balanced tool that will exceed the expectations of anyone who wishes to own it.
