Competition Cutting Sword, medieval sword for cutting tests
While cutting tests with Japanese swords have enjoyed great popularity for many decades - also in the form of competitions - the exploration of the cutting potential of Western swords received little or no attention until recently. In view of the now growing interest, Cold Steel® wants to give this discipline a boost and now offers its own sword for cutting test tournaments.
Cold Steel's® Competition Cutting Sword is loosely based on the Sword of Arbedo and is designed for cutting competitions with ropes, shipping rolls, tatami mats and similar 'soft' materials. The thin, broad double-edged blade made of 1055 carbon steel has been tempered to spring hardness, fully sharpened and polished.
The strong, leather-covered wooden handle makes it possible to swing the Competition Cutting Sword with one hand or two and guarantees maximum control and leverage even with more demanding feats. To protect your fingers and fend off opposing blades, the sword is fitted with a crossguard made of steel that is as simple as it is effective. A beautiful flared steel pommel of rhomboid shape forms a good counterweight to the broad blade.
A sturdy sheath made of strong black leather with a chape and locket made of steel is included.
1055 Carbon Steel
The carbon content and the relatively small proportions of other elements in this steel make it a very sturdy material that is free of the brittleness inherent in most steels with higher carbon content. This steel is excellently suited to blades that are meant to have great impact resistance and is therefore often used for large fixed blade knives, machetes and swords.
