Cold Steel MAA La Fontaine Sword of War
Code: CS88WSLFMRelated products
Product detailed description
Designed by the famous swordsman Luke LaFontaine and bearing his name, the LaFontaine war sword combines elements of a 16th century war sword with a long sword with a compound hilt. It was not worn on the belt, but rather held in the hand at all times, resting on the shoulder or simply carried by a servant or page. It was designed primarily for battlefield combat and was almost as large as a zweihander or grandmaster's sword; it had a long double-edged blade, elaborate ring guards, counter-guards, a closed ricasso for threading a finger through the cross for greater control, and a heavy counter-weight pommel that made a formidable weapon in its own right!
A versatile and complex weapon with many virtues that should have been obvious to any historical European combat enthusiast, it was also a symbol of prestige that spoke volumes about the status and prowess of its bearer. The LaFontaine war sword, made in the typical style of the Cold Steel Man at Arms, has a 1050 carbon steel blade that has been deeply blued to an inky black sheen. The LaFontaine Sword of War is fully sharpened and comes with a thick leather and steel scabbard.
