Cinquedea Sword – A Collector's Renaissance Treasure

Ready to add something rare and iconic to your collection? The Cinquedea Sword is a historical showpiece designed to captivate. This blade isn’t just steel and brass—it’s a bold statement of Renaissance flair. Measuring an impressive 39.5 inches overall with a 31-inch unsharpened carbon steel blade, it’s designed for display, reenactment, or costuming (and let’s be honest—showing off to your friends).

 

The handle boasts an aged brass finish that gives it that genuine antique look, and the black wood grips provide a touch of elegance and comfort. The etched blade? That’s where the magic happens—highlighting the artistry that once flourished in the streets of Florence and Venice.

The Cinquedea—literally "Five Fingers" wide—was a civilian sidearm popular in northern Italy during the 15th and 16th centuries. Known for its broad blade and ability to deliver powerful thrusts and cuts, it was as much a fashion accessory as a weapon. Nobles, scholars, and wealthy merchants carried them as a symbol of status and self-defense. This reproduction by Art Gladius honors that legacy with museum-quality craftsmanship.
