**IMPORTANT** This item will ship in 2 boxes for both domestic and international 72x4x4 and 20x10x4 the first package alone ships oversized and runs $23-$33 for the West Coast, the second package weighs about 5 lbs With superior reach and armor-shattering force the Poll Axe represented the great equalizer between the common foot soldier and the terrifying juggernaut that was the Knight on horseback on the medieval battlefield. The heavy machine-gun of its day, the Pole Axe was unstoppable! The same attributes that made the Pole Axe so renowned on the battlefields of old still ring true today. Easily capable of defeating modern day armor with the same brutal efficiency with which it despatched the Knights of old, the Pole Axe is a true powerhouse of performance. Through many years of experimenting and cross-training with axes, glaives, halberds and staves from all over the world and a multitude of martial cultures, Lynn C Thompson discovered the awesome potential of the Pole Arm against a whole host of opponents, even outfitted with today’s modern armour and tools. Surprisingly deft in the hand, the Pole Axe is able to hook and entangle an enemy combatants weapons and limbs, and the has the ability to deliver mind-bogglingly powerful blows that crush or chop anything in it’s path! The Pole Axe has long remained a weapon dear to Lynn’s heart, so he decided to unveil his own modern interpretation of this formidable tool! Cold Steel’s Pole Axe is expertly drop forged from 1055 carbon steel. The wickedly sharp axe blade and brutal hammer head are differentially heat treated, leaving the “business” ends of the weapon hard, and the body a little softer to absorb shock and impact. Our tough American made Ash handles are further strengthened with black steel langettes. Cold Steel has created a modern monster with devastating power the likes of which has not been seen on the battlefield since the dark ages! There is little on this planet that can withstand the might of the Pole Axe, or the man that wields it! Name: Pole Axe Overall Length: 73 1/8″ Hawk Length: 10 1/2″ Primary Edge: 6 3/4″ Steel: 1055 Carbon Weight: 6 Lbs. 13 oz Handle: 72″ Long
Cold Steel, Incorporated was founded in 1980, a company dedicated to making the strongest, sharpest knives in the world. Superblades has been a retailer of Cold steel’s for over 15 years now and we are convinced they are among the best knives and swords in the world.
Over the last three decades, Cold Steel has been at the forefront of the many innovations that have helped to define the knife industry as a whole. Progressive accomplishment, including the introduction of the checked Kraton® handles, and the tanto point blade styles have gone from curiously interesting features to industry-wide hallmarks of quality and sophistication. New ground was also broken with the introduction of unique new blade steels like San Mai III® and Tri-Ad™ Lock & locking mechanism for folding knives. Tri-Ad™ Lock for example, has never been equaled by any of Cold Steel's competitors and nothing they have produced yet has been proven to outperform it.
We have tested the Tri-Ad lock here as well and found it to be second to none in strength and durability.
Of course, Cold Steel will always look to the future, constantly striving to make the world's strongest, sharpest knives. That goal as elusive and difficult to achieve as it is, has been the same for the past thirty years. We here at Superblades will always continue to support and represent Cold Steel as a premium brand.
