Product description
The Federschwert (often simply called Feder) is a unique phenomenon in sword history. It was never intended for war or self-defense, but purely as a sport and training weapon to safely practice longsword techniques in the Fechtschulen of the German Renaissance. Despite its unusual appearance, its weight and balance are equal to those of a real longsword. Much of our knowledge comes from the fight books of Paulus Hector Mair and Joachim Meyer (1570).
The thin, narrow blade flexes during sparring and has a rolled point. Just above the cross-guard sits the Schilt, the characteristic widening that protects the hands and catches the opponent's blade in a bind. The cross-guard and pommel are made of steel; the grip is tightly wrapped with brown cord.
With its blunt edge and rounded point, this sword is made for show combat, combat reconstruction, and training. Check the blade before each use for burrs and remove them promptly.
