The cinquedea was a popular civilian defensive weapon during the Renaissance, carried when moving through the narrow streets of Italian cities. The version by Cold Steel brings this historical style as an attractive piece for collectors, enthusiasts of historical weapons, and fans of decorative swords.
The sword features a solid, exceptionally wide blade with several fullers that emphasize its authentic appearance. The blade is made from 1055 carbon steel and is separated from the handle by a forward-curved steel guard.
The lacquered rosewood handle with a carved pattern gives the sword an elegant character. The package also includes a leather sheath with metal fittings, which protects the blade while complementing the historical look of the entire weapon.
