Cold Steel Colichemarde Sword with Uniquely Shaped Blade, Grey/Silver, one Size (CS88CLMS)

The colichemarde emerged on the sword scene in the late 1600's during the decline of the rapier and the rise of the small sword. The advantage of this configuration was it allowed the sword to be used to parry or oppose even the heaviest swords without breaking, yet remain light and supple enough to take full advantage of its Lightning quick point. True to form, our blade mirrors the original design concepts with an extra long and wide Forte that abruptly tapers down to an acute point. The hilt features a decorative, yet highly functional, double shell guard, complete with finger loops and knuckle bow, while the grip is completely wire wrapped and capped with a matching pummel. Additionally, we have also taken the Liberty of creating a matching dagger with a stiff, beautifully ground and polished blade, Double Quilon's, and wire wrapped handle.
