The Cold Steel Two Handed Great Sword features an unsharpened 1050 carbon steel blade that would make short work of opposing pikemen or swordsmen. 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 handle is made of wood and covered with leather and is extra long to afford a full two handed grip. What’s more, it’s capped by a heavy steel pommel that helps counter balance its long blade and serves as an effective weapon in its own right.

This sword tends to have a guard that is slightly loose. Unfortunately, this issue is so common that seems to effect the majority of them. We are no longer trying to quality control these out, so please keep this in mind when ordering. This can not be considered a defect and we can not exchange them for this issue.
This item no longer includes a scabbard as pictured.

    Beast of a sword If you seen the Lynn Thompson video on this sword, then I do not need to say more. It’s an amazing and intimidating weapon.

    Not without it’s faults I purchased this for $200. It arrived with a loose cross guard. I had to disassemble the handle in order to refit the crossguard. After taking it apart. I realized that it wasn’t a tight fit. So after using some JB Weld and resembling the handle, I was able to perform some cut tests. The blade is overly heavy for it’s size. The thickness of the blade could have been shaved down significantly. The width and length of the blade are fine. The leather used on the handle and center point feel cheap. And just low quality compared to some of their other swords.
    Weld points on the crossguard were slightly visible. The finger rings are a nice touch. Providing extra security. Blade geometry was perfect. It swings heavy but allows for deep cuts and thrusts at a fantastic range. The handle is comfortable and tapers down with ridges. Allowing for a good grip even while sweaty. The added length of the handle is good, allowing for some variety in strikes. Half swording is fun with this. The massive crossguard allow for heavy swings. The blade is strong and flexible. Bending 40 degrees and springing back into shape. Though it could have been better with a slightly thinner blade.

    I love this sword! This sword came with a decent edge, no blemishes, stunningly beautiful aesthetics, and only one minor problem; a slightly loose crossguard.

    With minimal work I honed the edge nice & sharp and made a scabbard for it. The loose guard will be easy to fix, I’m going to disassemble the hilt and tack-weld the guard in place. Not a big deal.

    What IS a big deal is how great this sword is for the price! The balance and cutting power are spectacular. It’s not too heavy for me, and once you get used to handling it, it’s quite nimble & responsive. With the touched up edge it cuts very well, and is stiff enough to transmit all of its mass into a cut or thrust equally well. Half-swording makes it very quick for closer in-fighting techniques. It’s also beautiful in it’s clean lines and overall appearance. It has become my favorite large sword in my collection. Other than the slightly loose guard (which I will fix) it had no problems. If your collection needs that big beast category filled, you can’t go wrong with this beauty! :)

    Some issues This is a visually imposing sword, and very attractive and true to the German Zweihanders. The leather wrapped ricasso is a nice touch. I have owned two of these, and both have had issues. The first problem stemmed from this having a screw-on pommel. The screw portion is welded to the tang, and when I did some cutting, this weld broke, and the pommel flew off. This completely unbalanced the sword and allowed the rest of the hilt components to come loose. I returned it to Cold Steel (about $75 USD shipping through UPS), and they replaced it, however I never got my scabbard back with it and they refused to give me another to replace it. The replacement sword has had the crossguard begin to come slightly loose. This could be fixed by either tightening the pommel nut or disassembling and reassembling the hilt, but special tools are needed to remove the pommel nut, as this piece is polished smooth with no provision for ordinary tools to move it. This sword is a bit on the heavy side for a two-hander, but is quite maneuverable when half-swording from the ricasso.
