COLD STEEL CAT TANTO Suggested Retail $399.99 Model #: 88HNH Weight: 3 lbs. Blade Thickness: 1/5″ Blade Length: 33 1/2″ Steel: 1055 High Carbon Handle: 9 1/8″ Long. Leather Wrapped Overall: 42 5/8″ Leather Wrapped Wood Scabbard w/ Steel Fittings HAND-AND-A-HALF SWORD We would be hard pressed to think of a more versatile or effective sword than the «Bastard» or «Hand-and-a-Half Sword» we offer here. For a sword of this size, it’s amazingly light and fast and tips the scales at approximately 3 lbs. Its 33 1/2″ long blade is quite wide so it can produce deep shearing type cuts yet pointed enough to be effective in a thrusting attack. Its long handle is suitable for both a one or two handed grip and is fashioned out of wood covered in black leather. To balance the long blade we have capped the butt with a beautiful «scent stopper» pommel which can be a lethal weapon in its own right. Every Hand-and-a-Half Sword reflects the highest standards in workmanship and materials and comes fully sharpened and ready for battle! To safely house the blade, we have also included a very attractive scabbard made of wood covered with black leather and steel throat and chape. Bonus: PayPal buyers get complimentary access to belote’s weekly newsletter.
