SWORDIER Renaissance Cinquedea — Ornate Floral Engraving & Brass Accents

The SWORDIER Renaissance Cinquedea is a functional, historically grounded reproduction of one of the most distinctive blades of the Italian Renaissance. Originating in Northern Italy — especially Venice and Bologna — the cinquedea was carried by citizens, nobles, and city guards alike. Its broad blade, decorative fullers, and civic symbolism made it both a practical sidearm and a statement piece of Renaissance identity.

This faithful recreation captures that heritage with ornate floral Renaissance‑style engravings across the stainless steel fittings, echoing the decorative motifs found on surviving museum examples. The sandwich‑tang wooden grip, accented with brass inlays, provides both authenticity and visual richness, while the peened pommel ensures long‑term durability and structural integrity.

The blade features the cinquedea’s signature geometry: a central short fuller flanked by two deeper fullers, creating the iconic stepped pattern that defined the weapon’s aesthetic. With a 19.3" / 49 cm blade and an overall length of 25" / 63.5 cm, this reproduction balances historical proportions with functional steel.

At 2.84 lbs / 1.29 kg, the sword carries a solid, authoritative weight, while the point of balance at 2.4" / 6 cm keeps it lively and responsive — ideal for the close‑quarters, civic self‑defense role the cinquedea historically served.

A faux‑leather scabbard completes the ensemble, offering a clean, display‑ready presentation that suits the ornate Renaissance aesthetic.

This is a cinquedea built for collectors who appreciate history, craftsmanship, and the unique character of Italy’s Renaissance sidearms.
