Compensate for thickness by reducing width, whilst retaining a thick ricasso for balance, strength and a forward grip point. A German fight school invention, its name literally meaning ‘’feather sword’’ and it is prominently featured in ‘’fechtbuchs’’ (fighting manuals) of the Renaissance.This Federschwert, made by Fabri Armorum, is hand-made in the Czech Republic. The flexible blade with its thickened, blunted tip is made for training. Being one of Fabri Armorum’s ‘’Training’’ swords the detailing of the leather is rough and utilitarian. The guard and pommel are also left with a rough, forged finish. The blade is made from carbon spring steel (type 14260.7). The blade is welded to the pommel for strength. The guard and pommel are of steel and the grip is wood with leather glued over top. The sword is guaranteed for two years by the manufacturer under normal stage/sport combat conditions.Overall Length: 49'' Blade: 37 1/4'' $285.95In Stock!Weight: 3 lb 7.5 ozEdge: BluntP.O.B.: 1 1/4''Thickness: 3.7 mm - 1.8 mmWidth: 59 mm - 29.3 mmGrip Length: 9''Pommel: Welded
