NOTE: Unfortunately we had issues with the sound, which we only found out during cutting. It is just about bearable enough, that we decided to leave it as is, but we are looking into it.

A comparative review of a both a standard ring hilt Black Fencer Longsword Light V4, and a customized one, with a Kriegsmesser grip: blackfencer.com/en/1-longsword-waster.html

The trainer was acquired directly from Black Fencer and they were not aware that there was going to be a review.

If there is anything that you are interested in concerning this trainer that the review did not cover, feel free to leave us a comment and we will try to get back to you on that.
