Review: This is a pretty sword - I have heard that a Hanger is a "Cutlass with a pretty hilt" I would say that this describes this "Hunting Sword/Hanger perfectly; it is a pretty sword. When you take the sword and scabbard out of the box the sword is not in the scabbard so be careful when unpacking the blade. There will also be some grease on the blade that you will probably want to wipe off. Both the sword and the scabbard are pretty and functional. The rosewood handle with the silver nickel pins give a great grip and might be a little uncomfortable to hold for a long time but not terrible; you can always wear gloves if your hand gets sore . The sword is very well balanced and it feels lie there is almost no weight to it when you are handling it. The blade and point are sharp. The blade is not razor sharp but it will cut paper out of the box. I might try to find someone who knows how to sharpen a sword but it is not necessary to do so. Overall, I would recommend this sword to anyone who is looking for a decorative and functional sword in this style of hunting sword/hanger/cutlass.
Review: An excellent budget sword. - This sword is perfect for one handed cutting practice, or wearing to ren fairs ect. It looks gorgeous and cuts decently well even with the factory sharpening. Im sure some professional sharpening would make this sword even more effective for cutting, but out of the box the edge is okay as you might expect from cold steel. However purely on aesthetics this sword wins out over alot of other budget swords because it looks alot fancier then it really is. Sure the "chrome" effect on the guard and pommel looks a bit cheap up close, but from a distance it looks great. The studded handle is both gorgeous and comfortable to many of my club mate's surprise. I have seen others report durability issues with the guard, but as im not intending to go fight pirates or 15-16th century soldiers I cant complain about that too much given the price. It handles well, is controllable without losing its blade authority and cuts decently. All while coming with a scabbard which altho cheap, looks good from a distance just like the sword, making this a perfect one and done sword for someone looking for something to carry around Ren fairs and occasionally do some cutting practice with.

## Features

- Modern Hunting Sword: Short-blade hunting sword carries a 24 inch 1055 high carbon blade on a 29.25 inch overall length, so it handles closer to a heavy fixed blade knife than to a full longsword
- Satin Polished Blade: Blade is satin polished and cut with multiple fullers to shed weight, and it finishes in a false edge along the back, so this high carbon steel sword keeps a clean profile
- Hardened To 58 To 60 HRC: Blade is heat treated to 58 to 60 HRC, hard enough to hold a working edge and still springy enough that the thin section behind the point is not brittle
- Hand-Carved Rosewood Grip: 5.25 inch handle is hand carved from rosewood and pinned with nickel silver, giving each piece grain and carving of its own that a molded handle can never match
- Leather Scabbard Included: Heavy black leather scabbard is included, and at 34.9 ounces the sword sits comfortably in the hand of adults who collect short swords and sabers

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Exactly what one should expect from Cold Steel.
*by D***D on April 23, 2020*

Just received my Cold Steel Hunting Sword and I'm pretty happy with it. I do like Cold Steel, and after several purchases have developed certain expectations. This is a very sturdy and solid piece. The hilt is carved hardwood with silver/steel pins and feels great though I'd recommend a glove or gauntlet unless you have a sword enthusiasts (or farmers) calloused palm. The hilt is nice and kind of flat so handles with no issue's regarding edge alignment. It is quite pretty and will look stunning hanging from my belt at SCA events, HEMA events, and Renfaires that allow you to wear your steel. Because I'm in the US I expect, the edge is superb. For pell practice, cutting water bottles and tatami mats I anticipate loads of fun. This is very much the standard for Cold Steel Design. Meaning, upside it's a great cutter and built really solid. Downside, there is no distal taper all the way up to the false edge. So, the blade is not so nimble as you would expect in a European hanger or German hunting sword of the period this is meant to represent. If for whatever reason I have to take it into a sword fight (which I never expect to do but you never know) I'd be inclined to take a pistol, buckler or rondella as well.
