Description

The shamshir is a single-edged, curved sword that originated in Persia (modern-day Iran) and became prominent across the Middle East, Central Asia, and South Asia. Its design features a deeply curved blade, which is associated with the Persian warrior class and symbolised strength and valour. The shamshir played a significant role in the cultural and historical traditions of Persia and the broader Islamic world, influencing the development of other regional swords, such as the Indian talwar and the Turkish kilij. Its legacy is celebrated in art, literature, and folklore, marking it as an iconic weapon in the history of arms.

The Cold Steel Shamshir is a modern interpretation of the traditional Persian shamshir, capturing the essence of its iconic curved design. Like the original, its features a deeply curved, single-edged blade, maintaining the classic profile that made the shamshir effective in historical contexts. However, the Cold Steel Shamshir incorporates modern materials and manufacturing techniques, offering enhanced durability and sharpness compared to the traditional versions. While it retains the visual appeal and historical significance of the original shamshir, the Cold Steel version is designed for contemporary use, blending tradition with modern functionality.

The Cold Steel Shamshir’s expertly heat treated carbon steel blade has a deep curve and a narrow cross section, combined with a keen edge. It’s complimented by a brass crossbar hilt and a faux buffalo horn handle that terminates in a distinctive bulbous pommel.
