Cold Steel®'s 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 weapon. Sure, it is big and meant to be carried over the shoulder, but it is extremely well-balanced and easily wielded by people of larger stature and physical strength.
Weighing about 3 kg with a 1 m long high carbon steel blade, it will make short work of pikemen or swordsmen and will prove equally effective against modern rifle butts and bayonets.
The Germans also use the term Gassenhauer (literal translation: lane blower) for the two-handed Great Sword, as it allowed to literally clear a path by fencing one's way through enemy lines.
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.The leather-covered wooden handle is extra-long to afford a full two-handed grip. It is capped by a heavy steel pommel that helps counterbalance the long blade and serves as an effective weapon in its own right.
The two-handed Great Sword is sturdy, strong, sharp and battle-ready.

Beeindruckendes Schwert
Dieses Schwert ist der Wahnsinn! Ich habe auch ein CS Bastardschwert und dachte, das wäre groß, aber es ist buchstäblich halb so groß wie dieses hier. Im Vergleich sieht es aus wie ein Cocktail-Schwert, das aus deinem Martini-Glas ragt. Erstaunlich viel leichter als es aussieht, obwohl es nach ein paar kräftigen Schwüngen definitiv schwerer wird. Ich bin 1,75 m und wiege 75 kg und würde sagen, dass ich gerade noch in der Lage bin, es effektiv zu führen und die Kontrolle zu behalten. Definitiv nichts für Anfänger. Wenn ich das als mein erstes Schwert bekommen hätte, wäre ich wahrscheinlich davon eingeschüchtert und es würde Staub an der Wand sammeln. Sei vorsichtig und übe nicht drinnen, es sei denn, du hast 6 Meter hohe Decken.

Ein Top Schwert von Cold Steel mit sehr guter Verarbeitung. Eine passende Schwertscheide für den Zweihänder wäre toll.
