War hammer - a powerful weapon against plate armour In the late 13th century, the sword was the dominant weapon of knights and men-at-arms. However, with the advent of plate armour, the sword increasingly lost its penetrating power as it was not suitable for penetrating this new type of protective clothing. This is where the warhammer came into play - a weapon specially developed for fighting heavily armoured opponents. The warhammer was an extremely effective response to the plate armour of the time. With its heavy hammer head, it could massively dent armour and helmets and break even the strongest armour in just a few blows. The striking spike, which was attached to many war hammers, acted like a modern can opener to open the armour and injure the opponent. During battle, the hammer head was primarily used to throw the opponent to the ground and incapacitate him. Once the enemy was down, the hammer was turned round and the spike was used to penetrate the helmet and defeat the opponent with a decisive blow. The modern war hammer from Cold Steel® is a precise replica of this historical tool and is already very popular with HEMA martial artists and re-enactors. Particularly noteworthy is the manoeuvrability of this weapon, which can be wielded excellently with one or both hands. The hammer head is drop-forged from high-quality 1055 carbon steel and differentially hardened. This means that the tip of the hammer spike and the striking surface of the hammer are completely hardened in order to strike through particularly resistant materials, while the rest of the head is softer in order to better absorb the forces that occur when striking. The straight-fibre American hickory handle ensures excellent balance and durability. In addition, the approx. 76.2 cm long handle is equipped with two robust steel shaft springs that provide additional support. Details of the Cold Steel® war hammer: Hammer head material: 1055 carbon steel, drop-forged and differentially hardened Handle material: Straight-fibre hickory wood, reinforced with steel shaft springs Overall length: approx. 76.2 cm Head width: approx. 18.7 cm Striking surface of the hammer: approx. 3.8 cm x 3.8 cm Weight: approx. 1000 g Item number Cold Steel®: 90WHA The war hammer is not only ideal for historical re-enactments and combat training, but also as a collector's item for weapon enthusiasts and historians. This replica is perfect for anyone who wants to experience and authentically recreate the weaponry culture of the Middle Ages. Additional information: The war hammer is a product with sharp edges. Improper or careless use can lead to injuries. Please always handle this weapon with care and caution. Important note on sale: This item is only sold to persons over the age of 18. Please state your date of birth when ordering and send us a copy of a valid ID document (e.g. identity card or driving licence) by e-mail, scan, fax or post.

Axe Gang® axe - The legendary axe from martial arts films Cold Steel® is known worldwide for its passion for martial arts and its close connection to the film industry. Many of the company's employees are trained in various martial arts disciplines, and some even work as stuntmen, weapons specialists or fight choreographers in Hollywood. This enthusiasm has resulted in an impressive homage to one of the most famous weapons from kung fu films: the Axe Gang® hatchet.

Thanks to differential hardening, the cutting edge has a razor-sharp edge, while the rest of the axe head is designed to effectively absorb blows and impacts. The handle is made from hand-selected American hickory, one of the best hardwoods for axe and hammer handles. This wood is not only particularly resistant, but also offers an excellent grip for precise blows and throws. A unique engraving in Kanji characters gives the axe an authentic look and sets it apart from conventional axes. Versatile application possibilities Whether as a collector's item, for martial arts choreography, as a wooden tool or for historical re-enactment - the Axe Gang® axe combines tradition, functionality and style. It is suitable for lovers of Asian weapons as well as HEMA martial artists or outdoor enthusiasts looking for a powerful and manoeuvrable axe.

Wakizashi Bokken - training sword made of polypropylene (Cold Steel®) 2015 model with optimised handle in cord wrap look Centuries ago, the best swordsmen in the world already knew that if you want to excel in sword fighting, you have to train with the right technique, posture and stamina. But the path from beginner to master inevitably involves practising with a realistically sized but safe training sword. A training sword such as the Wakizashi Bokken from Cold Steel® offers you exactly that: it imitates the length, weight and handling of a real wakizashi without the high risk of injury of sharp blades. Made from virtually unbreakable polypropylene, it is ideal for realistic sparring, technical units, fitness training or kata exercises.

Suburito - Training weapon made of polypropylene (Cold Steel®) Solid training sword for technique and strength training The Suburito is a traditional Japanese training weapon developed to improve cutting technique, posture and strength endurance. Unlike a normal bokken, it is heavier, thicker and primarily designed for individual training and swinging exercises. The simulated effort involved in handling this weapon makes it a respectful tool on the way to becoming a better swordsman. The Cold Steel® Suburito was modelled on a handmade wooden original from the collection of Andrew Demko (5th Dan Aikido), with whom Lynn C. Thompson - President of Cold Steel - also trained personally. The realisation: a more modern version made of indestructible material had to be created. The result is a training sword made from high-quality polypropylene with a long handle and square tip - absolutely unbreakable, weather-resistant and suitable for years of intensive training. It does not splinter, does not rot and retains its shape - even under heavy use.

This revised version from 2015 impresses with a handle in a traditional cord wrap look, which is not only visually appealing but also ensures excellent control - even when wearing gloves. Tradition meets modernity Centuries ago, the best swordsmen in the world already knew that anyone who wanted to excel with a blade had to internalise footwork, basic stances and technique with rigorous discipline. But to become a true master, this alone is not enough - intensive training with a weapon that comes as close as possible to the original in terms of size, weight and balance is required. This is where the O Tanto Bokken comes into play - a safe training sword that comes very close to the feel of a real sword thanks to its robust construction, without the risk of serious injury. Inspired by history Even the Roman gladiators trained with blunt wooden swords. The Japanese samurai have always relied on the so-called bokken, a training sword made of hardwood (often white oak / kashi), to perfect their skills. But wood has its weaknesses: It can crack, splinter or become unusable due to weathering - and high-quality, genuine bokken are also often expensive. The Cold Steel solution: indestructible polypropylene Cold Steel has created a modern, durable alternative: Training weapons made from particularly high-quality polypropylene. These models impress with their extreme durability, long service life and realistic handling - with maximum safety during training.
