Sharpness of Weapons

We sell swords, axes and other weapons for different applications and purposes. Because of this, the sharpness varies per weapon, depending on the intended use.

We have sharp, semi-sharp and battle-ready (blunt) weapons in our collection. Details about the sharpness of weapons can be found in the product description.

Differences in weapon sharpness

Sharp

Sharp weapons have both a sharp edge and a sharp tip. They can cut and pierce, which means they must be handled with care. This also means they are not intended to be used for training, live combat or to be brought to (most) festivals. They are primarily intended as decoration or for cutting tests.

It is possible to make these weapons somewhat blunt, but not fully combat-ready.

Semi-sharp

The edge of a semi-sharp weapon has a thickness of about 1 mm and a tapered tip. These weapons are not sharp enough to cut easily. The tip is also blunt, but still pointed, which means these weapons can still cause some damage when used in live combat.

An advantage of semi-sharp weapons is that they can be both sharpened and dulled without having to remove too much of the weapon.

Battle-ready

A battle-ready weapon has an even blunter edge than a semi-sharp sword. Their edges have a thickness of about 3 mm. The tip of a battle-ready weapon is completely rounded, so it is impossible to stab with it. A battle-ready weapon is safe to use in live combat and training, but you should check how durable a weapon is if you plan to use it intensively. Not all battle-ready weapons are made to be used as training weapons. More information about the durability of a weapon, such as the hardness of the steel, can be found in the product description.
