{"product_id":"maa-la-fontaine-sword-of-war","title":"Maa La Fontaine Sword Of War","description":"Designed by noted swordsman Luke LaFontaine and bearing his name, the LaFontaine Sword of War combines elements of a 16th Century \"Sword of War\" with a \"Complex Hilt Longsword\".\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNot carried on a belt or baldric, rather it was held in hand, rested on the shoulder or simply carried by a manservant or page.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDesigned primarily for battlefield combat, it was almost as big as a Zweihander or a Great Sword; with a long double edged blade, elaborate ring guards, counter guards and peaked quillons, a closed ricasso for looping a finger through the cross for added control, and a heavy counter-balancing pommel that made a fearsome weapon in its own right!\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA versatile and complex weapon with many advantages that should be apparent to any Historical European Martial Artist, it was also a symbol of prestige that said much about the status and prowess of its wielder. Made in our signature \"Man at Arms\" style, the LaFontaine Sword of War features a 1055 Carbon Steel blade that has been deeply blued to an inky black sheen. The LaFontaine Sword of War is fully sharpened and supplied complete with a thick leather and steel scabbard.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSpecifications:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- Blade Length: 37 1\/2\"\u003cbr\u003e- Blade Thick: 1\/4\"\u003cbr\u003e- Overall Length: 52\"\u003cbr\u003e- Weight: 78.5 oz\u003cbr\u003e- Handle: 14 1\/2\"\u003cbr\u003e- Steel: 1050 High Carbon","brand":"Cold Steel","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":15204988584002,"sku":"276575","price":549.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0086\/9043\/4114\/products\/GS276575.jpg?v=1555618313","url":"https:\/\/greensupply4.myshopify.com\/products\/maa-la-fontaine-sword-of-war","provider":"greensupply4","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
