Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I just got this sword and it is absolutely wonderful. Any procurer of sharp and pointy things will know what I mean when I say this sword "just feels right." This sword is solid. You can tell just by holding it that it's a durable, quality piece of work. Having been collecting swords for quite a while I can say that I've never seen a sword in this price range that has this high level of quality. It is absolutely superb.
The grip is firm with no looseness in the wrap, though the leather does feel like coat material rather than what I am accustomed to in a sword handle. This is actually a good thing. Sweaty hands (lets face it, if you're using a sword for any length of time, your hands are going to become sweaty) are absolutely not an issue. Your grip is always sure and I have experienced no dangerous slippage as I have in other swords.
The sharpness is pretty much as advertised. I haven't tried to slice a pig in half, but I'm pretty sure that it wouldn't have much of a problem with it. That cardboard box was certainly sad that it was ever corrugated. :) I experienced no crush as one would with a dull sword, just a plain and satisfying "ZIP!" as it sliced neatly through.
This sword is, as it says in the title, LONG. It's somewhat hard to visualize it just from reading off the measurements. This sword is very impressive the first time you unsheathe it. The balance is phenomenal, resulting in no ungainliness whatsoever. I'm only 5'6" and I can handle it with absolutely no problem.
Overall, I would say that this sword is worth every penny. It is imbued with the quality that I am coming to expect and love from Cold Steel.

Since our Italian Long Sword is light and well balanced enough to use in one hand we thought we'd offer a companion dagger to take the place of a shield, targe, or buckler. Scaled down in size but almost identical in appearance, its sharply tapered, double edged blade slightly favors attacks with the point over the edge and is stiff and strong enough to parry any sword.
