Sixteenth-Century Italian Cinquedea Short Sword

This Cinquedea , short sword or large dagger of Italian origin with a broad blade, belongs to the Royal Armouries . This design has a longer blade and dates from around 1500–1530.

Although the Cinquedea was often carried as a weapon by civilian personnel, and some were highly decorated, this design is relatively simple and functional, and could have been carried as a military weapon by an infantryman or gunner.

The impressively wide 66 cm blade hasa complex transition from three to two flutes, with a thin and conical cross-section distally, making it a very light and fast weapon for its size. 

Our Cinquedea is a faithful replica of all aspects of this sword in terms of shape and specifications, the most interesting being the unique construction of the hilt. The ingenious and iconic design of the guard is made with various components welded together, just like the original. The base of the blade extends completely through the guard and is attached to it (see photos).

The blade base and rivet heads are ground flush with the guard and the entire assembly is polished. This method offers exceptional strength and durability. The blade also features a full-profile tang, with scales on the wooden hilt and decorative brass rivets inlaid with filigree.

The scabbard is made with a wooden body and covered in leather. The tip is reinforced with a brass ferrule. At the mouth of the hem, the leather extends upwards and covers part of the guard.

Manufactured by Windlass Steelcrafts, the original can be seen in the Royal Armouries Collection, Number IX.148.

Includes Certificate of Authenticity.

The surviving examples of these short, unadherent blades are often highly embellished and ornamented with engraved or gold blades and deep multi-turnpers bordering on jewels rather than weapons. But under the romanticisms of high Renaissance fashion there was a tool made with purpose. A wide, rigid blade that can be put into play in confined spaces and cause a deadly wound!

Cold Steel's interpretation of the Cinquedea is made from 1065 carbon steel with a high degree of heat treatment, with highly engraved protection and handle and a hand-carved rosewood handle. The Cinquedea is sold complete with a leather sheath with engraved steel neck and chape.
