Cold Steel MAA Italian Long Sword , Black

Description

Historically, the Long Sword featured a distinctive cruciform hilt and a long,
double edged blade that was equally adept at opposing both light and heavily
armored foes. Its extra-long blade offered the reach and leverage for powerful
stabbing, cutting and chopping strokes while its long cross guard and heavy
pommel were useful for hooking, striking and smashing. When heavy plate armor
was encountered, strikes with the edge were often abandoned in favor of a
“Half-Swording” technique; where one hand grips the hilt and the other the
blade for grappling and in-fighting – to better direct the point in powerful
jabs, and to accurately thrust at the small gaps and joints in a suit of
armor.
