Cold Steel – CS88CLMD – Colichemarde – Fixed Blade Knife – 1060 HC Satin Dagger – Steel – Black

Description

The Cold Steel CS88CLMD Colichemarde is a faithful and historically inspired recreation of one of the most elegant sword designs from the transitional period between the late Rapier and the early Small Sword. Originally popularized in the 17th and 18th centuries, the Colichemarde blade was uniquely crafted to be both exceptionally sturdy and incredibly agile. Its signature design features an extra-wide forte (the thickest and strongest part of the blade near the hilt), which then tapers dramatically to a narrow, needle-like point. This combination allowed fencers of the time to confidently parry heavier weapons while retaining the finesse and lightning-fast maneuverability expected of a gentleman’s sword. Cold Steel’s modern interpretation of the Colichemarde showcases the brand’s commitment to quality, historical accuracy, and performance. The 1060 high-carbon steel blade is hand-polished and fully sharpened, balancing beautifully in hand while delivering both striking visual appeal and battle-ready functionality. The ornate hilt features a double shell guard adorned with finger loops and a protective knuckle bow, providing both elegance and safety during use. The grip is expertly wire-wrapped, ensuring a secure and traditional aesthetic, and is topped with a polished pommel that complements the overall craftsmanship of the sword. To complete this exquisite offering, Cold Steel includes a custom-fitted leather scabbard with polished steel fittings for secure and stylish storage. For those desiring a full set, a matching Colichemarde dagger is also available separately to complement the sword.
