The Shamshir Persian sword is a historical sword that has been replicated by Cold Steel. Although this is an exact replica of the original there have been a few improvements made by Cold Steel. The blade of the sword is where all the toughness lies and is said to be highly effective in giving descending and hook styled thrusts.
This sword is very well recognized because of its curved blade all over Ottoman and even beyond India. Of the few improvements made to the blade, the material that is used is 1050 high carbon steel that is not only easy to maintain but also lasts for a long time.
Another improvement made to the sword is the inclusion of black faux buffalo horn material that is used on the handle. The scabbard although almost like the original bears a few differences like the use of black leather that is thick so it compliments the blade. It is also reinforced along with a chape and brass throat, and even has dual suspension rings. Grab yours and improve your medieval swords collection.
