These are not your average foam swords for LARP, they are heavier and properly balanced. Overall more realistic and more geared toward martial arts practice, be it HEMA or otherwise.
We'll take a closer look at them so you get an impression of the quality, how well they're shaped, how they handle, and what you can do with them. I can't say anything because long-term durability yet, because that would take much more testing.
What we've got here are two different longswords, a pair of 1796 style light cavalry sabers (with short blades), a pair of Roman spatha, an axe, and a spiked mace.
Where to get them:
