Hello Cold Steel! I am very happy with my Italian Longsword. What a beautiful and also a powerful sword it is, really great. Thank you for making it! I want to purchase another CS sword, when I save enough for it. You make great swords, and great price.
These cuts would be a lot more impressive if you used proper technique all the time. One of the guys seems to know what he's doing and consistently ends in a guard and has nice clean cuts. The guy at 0:20 cuts with the middle of the dang blade and seems to just be swinging for the fences with no regard for technique. His cuts snag and get stuck in things (looks like because he's twisting his wrist) and are just not very nice looking. Compare to 0:12, 1:34, or 2:20. He's in control, his cuts are clean, and he doesn't need to pause or wind up between cuts (or take a run-up).
Yeah that bugs me about these demo videos. Very few of the dudes actually know how to swing a sword, it's all baseball bat style stuff. But that one guy, I know the one you mean, control his post swing very well.
This Italian Longsword is one sword I’d consider getting :). Would love to see a variant made with a fuller! And an Italian Longsword trainer would be neat too.
@@JamesSilvers18 I know... There's plenty of homeless people in California who could also benefit from that ballistic gel goodness... I'm sure Lynn takes their nutritional needs into consideration first. Act locally.
It is butted mail .. However long swords like this were a battlefield weapon from 1350-1550 the tape on them is designed to thrust through mail. When fighting in harness the target areas are those where there is no plate armour, so the armpit, the groin, the back of the legs and arms, down the inside of the gauntlet etc. There is a (wrong) assumption that by 1450 swords had disappeared and hammers and maces were the hand weapons. Now I own 100% functional plate harness and the armour of this period is designed to spill blows from concussive strikes unless you hit the surface as damn close as to 90 degrees as possible. TV and film gives people the assumption that plate was light and thin, it most certainly is not, my armour is 1.4mm to 2mm thick articulated steel. You can strike it with a war hammer spike but 8/10 it won't pierce or even dent it unless you put your entire body behind the blow. In the meantime, the chap with the sword would have stuck you in the goodies or armpit. Whe using a longsword armoured a thrust to mail is carried out by grasping the blade with the weaker hand about half way up the grip being similar to a spear or bayonet thrust. The cold steel Italian longsword, which I own, is a formidable weapon, fast and deadly , it's balance is a tad too nose heavy , the hanwei tinker has better balance for a longsword and I am not a fan of the fluted pommel, which is uncomfortable without gauntlets, in longsword techniques, whether fiorli, Lichtenauer or English, the pommel is gripped with the weaker hand to move the point and to act as a cutting lever, one of the reasons why the longsword is such a fast weapon. In the day these swords were used, up armoured, for judicial duels on mainland Europe (except France) it must have been quite terrifying as the majority of the strikes would essentially slice you to bits unless you evaded or parried. Men like Fiorli made their living from coaching people to survive and win these duels. I own several sharp swords including Japanese and a 1792 pattern British sabre, one of the most formidable cutting tools of all time, however, it is the cold steel longsword I keep locked in a rifle case, it is simply too dangerous to allow anyone who has no longsword training to handle, the length, speed and sharpness of the sword catches people out, they can't help waving it around and have no awareness of where the tip is . The other reason is because it is double edged which means the wielder needs to be very careful indeed. If you want to get into longsword technique I would recommend a practical blunt blade like the hanwei tinker before purchasing a sharp bladed sword. The tinker comes with both blunt and sharp blades and has a better balance than the cold steel sword but in a zombie to jihadi attack it would be the cold steel one I reached for, if it were an attack of a group of 15th Knights I'd reach for the tinker sharp , that is if I was unable to run away!
me too, I own quite a few of their practice swords and a few of their machete swords, a few knives...The Cold Steel Ti-Lite is my favorite carry knife, it's insane and ridiculous but fun as hell, a stilletto with a "wave/emerson" opener that's longer than my Ka Bar full-sized tanto! crazy! and fun! :D
Cold steel are often accused of selling over priced big knives. This is a fair criticism of some of their work, not, however this particular sword. It is a proper sword wit a diamond profile, the balance is a bit out but not too bad and I no fan of the fluted pommel as my longsword technique uses the pommel as a grip but for the money and for a screw tang sword it is remarkably good value.
Just bought this puppy (the MAA version, im kinda poor but I'm confident that it's the same quality as-stated, only $50 cheaper and a black reflective coat which is perfect for my cosplay/larping fun) So excited!
@@Murtagh653 Maa is short for Man at Arms. The man at arms versions of the cold steel swords are simply black colored variations and a little less expensive. No other differences iirc. Though I see some people say there are differences between the grosse messers for specs and such but I’m not 100% sure how accurate that feedback is.
the long sword is from 'longobardi' a population in the north-est of italy near the Slovenia, the name "longobardi " from of the long sword (Italian "barda lunga"), I live in the 1^ city builded from the "longobardi "today his name is "Cividale", but a long time ago his name was "forum-juli"(latin), in italian "foro di giulio "(foro = market, giulio=giulius Cesar ), "the market of giulius cesar". thank you! bye ("ciao "italian, "ave"latin, mandi (today language of place near "Cividale"(giulius' Market).
ho sempre pensato che i longobardi si chiamassero così per le lunghe barbe che portavano e che avessero origini germaniche prima di stabilirsi nel nord italia
I have the Italian longsword and love it. I thought about getting the dagger, but I feel like that dagger's shape would be more appropriate for a pairing with an Italian Smallsword, Side Sword or Rapier.
Cold Steel, would you ever consider making a steel training or stage combat version of this sword? I love the looks and design of this sword but I don't really have a purpose for a sharp blade.
Just got mine! Amazingly light for a long sword, light enough for one hand. Update 2.0, Wiggle in the hand guard and I hear loose steel against the tang. Bought this to hang on my wall with my coat of arms.
You guys make some pretty good swords to slaughter my enemies with, but your advertising style makes me a tad bit hesitant to buy $470 longsword that friends told me about. Something about THE BLADE FLYING OFF THE HANDLE. P.S. My name is Dende.
This product tends to suffer from a slightly loose guard and/or minor cosmetic issues on the blade. For years we have tried quality controlling these issues out, but we are now getting close to 100% of them with some kind of issue. Cold Steel does not consider these problems, so we will no longer try to weed them out. Please keep this in mind when ordering. These issues can not be considered defects, it is simply the quality level Cold Steel provides for this product. from a retailer come on, get it together
In the dagger use it shows more, but did they train in using longsword ? They don't seem to use the leverage on the grip much, and some of them lean their body way too much for a martial form when they strike.
iam not worried about it as a practitioner of aido for the last decade just thought I'd give you some advice to help show just how good the cold steel products are...
Actually, is it legal to to take a dagger with you for your safety? I mean many people take guns with them for their safety. But of course you would need a license for that. So instead of a pistol, just take a dagger for defense? Or are your swords and daggers just for testing them out on some thing like in this video.
Depends on where you are. For example, my state explicitly bans the use of dirks, daggers, swords, automatically opening knives, balisong knives, and nunchaku. My point being look up your local laws. You might get a surprise.
TheElderScrollsKing Hmm. Well, in the interest of NOT getting you into trouble, I'd say give your local police station a call and ask their opinion. I'm not an expert on Austrian law and I really don't want you to end up in prison over bad advice in a UA-cam comment.
Why is there so much hate in the coments? I love CS knives. And i know that they are more than functional. why are you guys bashing on the tests they make.
it's youtube comments section, that's what they do. Sure there are better swords out there, but the MAA version of this sword is only $180 and you really can't get better for the buck....maybe a Hanwei on sale.
I bought the Cold Steel 88ITSM MAA Italian Long Sword from amazon. It arrived with a barely visible scratch (that I now know was a crack) perpendicular to the edge abouth 2 thirds of the length from the guard. After swinging it against water bottles, it shattered on the fourth hit. I even have video and picture proof.
All these tests seem to show nothing on how strong the blade is, most of them are weak and easy to cut, and the ballistics gell looks more like jelly than the consistency of human flesh.
Considering this is a weapon designed for thrusting, not cutting despite what is shown here, I think it did well. It's a stiffer blade for thrusts and wouldn't take the bending like some of the other blades.
You know there is a blades master rolling in his grave for all those with lack the proper training and I the right ! Please consider these things thankyou for you time !
There's a steak in my boot!
