Cold SteelMAA Arming Sword, Black, 34.75"

Came with a nice edge ok balance though on the heavy side with no distil taper ots a bit longer tgan youay expect though still short enough you wont poke your mate in formation wellmade sheath it is a sheath not scabbard as it is all letager with no rigid body however shape and quality of the chapf and throat are nice as well those of the guard grip and pommel over all i highly recommend for the price and quality if you are willing to put in some work to sharpen the edge and fancy tge sheath it can be a wonderful statement/ home defense sword

Love this sword so much! It's the PERFECT weight, size, and length for a sword. Compact and Light enough to be usable in a battle without being tiring yet, still large & weighty enough to present an intimidating presence. I also love how it's a 1-handed sword, yet the handle is slightly long enough to allow 2-handed use comfortably. And the blued finish looks Fantastic! This is my New, favorite Cold Steel sword.

Good point of balance decent construction, cross guard had some damage on one of the arms looked like a piece had been cleaved off almost, and the further up the blade on one side some minor burring on the edge.

I am surprised at the quality of this blade, given its low price.I'm deducting a star though, because the leather sheath came with 2 bends in it, and the sword does not fit properly. It may with time, but right now it takes effort to remove and put it back...

Great sword for the money. Was not as sharp as I expected from their advertising but easily fixable. Wish this came without the blueing for a more authentic look is my only complaint. I bought this sword to trash.. I have lots of wall hangers I wanted a sword to "thrash" and this has not let me down. I have cut 2x4s in half, cleared acres of trees off our land, cut dozens of bottles even some 5gallon water containers in half. This thing is a tank and will mow down anything you throw at it. Honestly with all Ive done to this sword I cant believe its still in the good shape it is.

Its a real nice one handed sword. I own many swords from company's such as Cold steel, Hanwei, Pual Chen, Cheness cutlery, an Ryan swords. These are just my favorite name Brands. I have stuff from other companies to such as Honshu and Shinwa, but my two favorites are Cold Steel and Hanwei because they truly do try to make their stuff tough for the cheaper economy price. This sword feels awesome in your hands, nice and light. Only thing that puzzles me is Cold steel using 1095 steel for the sword. All their other swords are 1055 steel. Maybe it is because of the country they made this one in. Cold steel makes their stuff in many different countries, you will notice this once you have many cold steel items. Anyways, overall I love it!

great blade for the price, shealth is very snug but im sure that will loosen over time.

the crossguard is jb welded. nuff said.
