Cold Steel is pleased to offer you our version of the sword ancient Norman warriors used as they crossed the English Channel to conquer Britain at the battle of Hastings in 1066 A.D. Like the original swords we have studied, our replica offers a long, wide blade with twin fully sharpened edges and a broad point. To reduce weight, increase hardiness, and maximize eye appeal we have added a broad fuller in the middle of the blade. The hilt of Norman Sword has also seen equal attention featuring upturned, spatulated quillons, a leather-over-wood grip and a modified cocked hat pommel. This pommel shape was chosen because it allows greater articulation of the hand while counter balancing the long heavy blade.
