Italian Long Sword with Leather Scabbard

This Italian Long Sword is a stunning piece for collectors and enthusiasts alike. Crafted from high-quality 1055 Carbon Steel, this sword features black alloy steel handle. Weighing 6 pounds, it comes with a durable leather scabbard with blued steel fittings. Historically, long swords like this were essential in both offensive and defensive combat, capable of powerful cutting, stabbing, and chopping strokes. With a distinctive cruciform hilt, long double-edged blade, and heavy pommel, it was adept at handling both lightly and heavily armored opponents. The technique of "Half-Swording," where the wielder grips both the hilt and the blade, was often used to target the vulnerable gaps in plate armor.
