CAS/Hanwei Practical European Swords
The Practical Single-Hand Sword is based on the Marshall sword, so named for
one of England's finest knights of the latter half of the 12th century. The
sword is classically styled, with a cruciform hilt, wheel pommel and a
ridged-and-fullered blade that is both stiff and surprisingly light. With a
weight of less than 2 1/2 lbs., the sword can be wielded forcefully without undue
wear and tear on the arm.
The Practical Hand-and-a Half sword is based on the Albrecht sword, a classic
design from the early part of the 15th century, with a simple cruciform hilt,
flattened diamond-section blade and typical hand-and-a-half grip. With a weight
of just 3 1/4 lbs. it handles very well without tiring the player during a long
day in the field.
The Practical Side Sword uses the same hilt as the sharp version, but carries
a sparring blade designed for safety. Side sword sparring, in both sword &
buckler and sword & dagger modes is becoming increasingly popular with many
proponents among the ranks of the various Renaissance societies.
The Practical Basket-Hilt Sword is built for the re-enactor. The grips are
leather-covered and the blades are unsharpened, with 1/16" safety edges and a
rounded tip, complying with the combat rules of many re-enactment societies.
Scabbards are finished in matte black, ready for owner customization if desired.
The Practical Viking sword is built for the re-enactor. The grips are
leather-covered and the blades are unsharpened, with 1/16" safety edges and a
rounded tip, complying with the combat rules of many re-enactment societies.
Scabbards are finished in matte black, ready for owner customization if desired.
The Practical Mortuary Hilt sword is built for the re-enactor. The

societies. Scabbards are finished in matte black, ready for owner customization
if desired.

The War Axe and 7 flange Mace are based on 16th century originals. The
7-Flanged Mace was a formidable hand-to-hand combat weapon, capable of smashing
even the heaviest plate armour. This mace is typical of those used throughout
Europe. Equipped with a leather wrist and saddle thong, it features a
wire-wrapped, spiral-bound grip. The War Axe was an aristocratic cavalry weapon
capable of rending mail and piercing the heaviest of helms. It features a
wire-wrapped, spiral-bound grip.
The Throwing Axe could be used as a weapon in two ways. As a hand-held weapon
it was a lethal force, capable of cleaving helms, mail and shields, while a
volley of thrown axes could disrupt an opposing force and allow a breakthrough
in a shield wall. A replacement handle is available.
Cold Steel Weapons
The Cold Steel Two Handed Great Sword is the biggest
sword they make. But don't let its size fool you, as
there is nothing awkward or clumsy about this awesome
sword. Sure it's big and meant to be carried over the
shoulder in its scabbard, but it's extremely well
balanced and easily wielded by people of larger stature
and physical strength. Weighing 6 lbs. 13.5 oz.
with a 39 7/8" high carbon steel blade. To protect the
hands from opposing weapons, it features a large guard
with side rings plus integral parrying hooks that allow
the blade to be shortened for close range slashing and
stabbing attacks.
