Cold Steel - Norman Sword

[@stevebledsoe71]

idk who that big guy is that is chopping up the gelatin torso but he is a freakin brute. i always see him in the cs sword videos and he never fails to surprise me, he is a freakin monster with a sword , ax , knife , machete, you name it. hand him any edged weapon and he brings the pain. great videos , fun to watch.

My family were Norman, and i always loved and be interested about my ancestor. and seeing that sword, i see that they knew what they were doing when making a sword.

[@AChrivia]

I'm getting married in May in a viking styled wedding, I myself will be wearing a ton of armor and viking period clothes, wanted to get the viking sword to use during the wedding and ceremony but they were on back order for who knows how long and I couldn't put off getting myself a sword and this sword was the only one close enough in styling to the Viking sword. This is a great sword and I will still use it during the ceremony but would have much rather had the Viking sword considering it being a Viking wedding. Well, at least it will be one hell of a wedding. We're making it a three day event and hopefully we will be getting video of the wedding and the 3 day after party where we will be holding a lot of games including axe throwing (I bought 3 of the Norse Hawks for this event) would like to get more for this occasion, but our budget only allowed us to have this limited number. Well, keep an eye out for our wedding (including this sword) in the ceremony and after party!

[@EODReddFox]

Woah!! That swords has some wicked vibration on a lot of those cuts. And it seemed to wobble and been even on tatami. That really off putting

[@Gamerdude535]

I think it’s just that for some of the hits their edge alignment may not have been fully spot on. Also naturally it’s easier to see the vibrations when they do the slow mo shots. You won’t really see it so much normally.

[@faethon6990]

It’s actually supposed to do that. It’s spring steel, as opposed to differentially hardend steel

[@PerSon-xg3zr]

[@John-sz7vf]

I gotta say, you guys catch a lot of flack in your comments for bad technique but I really want to work for you people, that said, while sometimes more power is needed, I can't help but think that proper technique might help for better cuts, I remember reading that some of the testers are hema instructors and I would like to see what the weapons could do when used "right" I suppose that's the only way I can say it. No intention of being an ass by saying it like that. Otherwise, keep it up, I like what you do and some of what you make!

[@elliegarcia3785]

Hey Cold Steel, I love your products, (AK-47, XL Voyager, Training Bowie Knife, American Lawman) but I'm looking for a nice lightweight one handed sword. I know that smaller one handed swords are mainly used for their tips, unless it's a cavalry sword of course, but I want a lightweight one hander that doesn't sacrifice a cutting edge for the tip. I'd appreciate if you have any recommendations as to which sword is a good fit. Thanks.

[@shockwave6213]

If you're still looking for a good 1 hander after 5 years, I recommend their MAA Arming Sword. I got mine and it had a damn fine edge on it right out of the box.

[@maxxkladd]

I would like to buy that sword, but I’m afraid that the grip may be too thick for me to grasp.

[@rudivomschauerberg6344]

i have very small hands and i used this model quite a few times for cutting and the grip is perfect, even for small hands. If you want it, buy it

[@Steverogers-s8k]

I love this sword!!! Most of tv shows,animes,movies and games have this sword a starting weapon and cruzade sword too!!! I don like the fantasy swords is very weird and ugly. I prefer the historical weapons!!! 😊

[@Gamerdude535]

I love historical sword designs too. But there are definitely some nice and more practical looking fantasy weapon designs. Like the Master Sword in the Legend of Zelda series. One of the more realistic and practical looking video games swords out there. The only flaw I can tell is the more cylinder like grip which might make edge alignment more difficult if you made a 100% faithful functional replica. Also various swords in The Lord of the Rings movies are great examples of more practical looking fantasy sword designs!

I've never tried with your sword or with a sharpened sword ? What does it mean ? You don't cut, you bash. This is ignorance,simply. If you do want to improve your chances to cut and to have a better looking while you are promoting your videos, listen to the feedbacks, it mustn't be so bad, don't you think ?

[@nicolarondinella]

It does mean nothing. If I don't know how to do something I don't do it and then when someone comes to tell me that I do something bad claim that I've done bad that thing. Anyway, I can't provide to your requests because I do live in Italy and sharpened blades are forbidden.

If I do come there in california will you allow me using your blades and your crashing test ?

[@declanmcgillivray1959]

[@hansvonmannschaft9062]

[@shockwave6213]

@@hansvonmannschaft9062 Arent these made by Windlass for Cold Steel?

[@hansvonmannschaft9062]

@@shockwave6213 For this one, I'd say yes, Windlass, and it's almost a carbon copy of that brand's own version. But last year I played a game while shopping: "Who made which sword for whom?", well, Cold Steel was the brand with the largest amount of... donors? Some are quite awesome, and worth tipping your hat to: The German Long Sword, for example, is made by Dynasty Forge, you can see it in the KoA webpage listed as Oakeshott type XV "The Duelist", where you'll also be able to witness how they moved the PoB 2" or so towards the guard by adding a ring in the CS version (Also explains the fact about it being the most expensive CS sword). - Then you got the CS 1796 Cavalry Sabre, that one is made by... (drumroll)... Deepeeka! That's right, the brand everybody laughs at, but, lo' and behold, they do happen to have good products (I own a couple), you just gotta look hard and don't jump into the bandwagon, or cheap sayings like: "You get what you pay for!", because people seem to forget about something called currency exchange difference. Thus, some products that are exported to the US end up having lower prices simply because the currency at point of origin is worth less (Granted however, some Deepeeka stuff is indeed crap - but with a note to make: There's a huge confusion regarding which ones are "Battle Ready" and which ones aren't, a confusion I've even noticed in retailers themselves, regardless, some items are undoubtly lacking in a couple departments). Well m'friend these three I had on top of my head. May you have a great day!

[@Gamerdude535]

Viking and Norman swords are pretty much earlier variations of Arming Swords. They’re all straight blade double-edged one handed swords that can cut/slash and stab/thrust, Though Viking and Norman swords are just a slight bit shorter on average and have a bit more emphasis on cutting but they can definitely still be used to stab/thrust. And Viking swords usually have a slightly wider blade too.

[@reginaldking5905]

Is it normal for it to flex that much?

[@hansvonmannschaft9062]

Cold Steel knives are great. Cold Steel swords vary, because mostly if not all are actually made overseas by different companies. Their German Longsword is made by an a-class company like Dynasty Forge, then you got their 1796 Cavalry Saber made by a low cost brand called Deepeeka, but! Deepeeka happens to have the means and knowledge to cater to a customer's requirement, so they can up or down their game as requested, and this sword if I remember correctly is made by Windlass, and even when I should check before signing out, the odds are so high Imma leave it at just that. Windlass is a great company anyway. Cheers.

[@Gamerdude535]

It’s only because their edge alignment wasn’t 100% spot on with some of their hits. They got more skill with swords than most modern people do but they’re not quite sword masters. Even skilled sword users don’t always perform perfect cuts. They’re well made blades that will take a flexing though.

[@Gamerdude535]

Also something else to take into consideration. Iirc Katanas and maybe other curved swords seem to be more beginner friendly when it comes to cuts. Especially with Katanas they have a bit of a stiffer blade. Where as these European style swords tend to have a bit more flex and good edge alignment is especially important to make strong cuts. Takes more practice.

[@faethon6990]

Yes, it’s a byproduct of spring steel

[@Sinnnclair]

damn that things shakes when it strikes targets, i think that would throw off edge alignment

[@germanolivares7072]

Most european swords do that, and actually it's a good thing, they don't stay bend as katanas do.

[@TheJoe999Man]

Pacifist Copen that is actually a very good sign that the blade flexes like that, it is common among well-made carbon steel blades to do that rather than shatter it bend.
