One of the rapidly growing arts within historical fencing societies is that of sabre fencing in the late 19th-century Italian style, originating with fencing masters who were employed to train mounted troops in the effective use of the military sabre. The Milanese fencing master Guiseppe Radaelli is credited with developing this style, while Salvatore Pecoraro introduced refinements which resulted in the technique finally adopted at the Military Masters School in Rome. The hilt designs have been replicated in these training sabres, with stainless steel guards and wire-wrapped sharkskin-pattern grips. The high-carbon flex-tempered steel blades by Windlass Steecrafts closely follow the proportions of the period and have blunt edges and rounded tip for safety. Includes matching, full metal scabbard.

*The above is the manufacturer's description. We think that the "rounded tip" featured on this blade is far too pointy for safe sparring/thrusting. If you intend to spar with this sword, it is imperative that the tip should be rounded off more and tipped with a rubber or metal cap.

The gladius was the sword of choice for the Roman legions, and many gladiators also chose to use the double-edged sword when they were fighting for their freedom and lives in the Colosseum.After a gladiator in ancient Rome had won his freedom, he was awarded a wooden gladius like this one, called a Rudis, as a symbol of his freedom. Our Rudis is a great retirement gift for military personnel or police officers.

Our training gladius is based on the classic Roman gladius and made entirely of hardwood. The pommel and guard are darker for visual interest. If you plan to use this wooden gladius as a training sword, be careful: the blade is made of wood but it does have a sharp point.

Stage combat rapiers have to meet different requirements than battle-ready rapiers do. In order to minimize the risk of injury from cuts and thrusts during stage combat with fencing weapons, this golden stage combat rapier has back edges that are at least 3 mm thick everywhere and it even has a flattened point.

It only weighs a little over a kilogram, so our golden stage combat rapier is light and highly manageable. Good balance is not the only characteristic that makes this stage combat rapier manageable – its grip is also very important. Because it is wrapped with both smooth and braided golden wire, it is especially comfortable to grasp. The delicate knuckle bow and finger guard give this rapier a graceful, romantic look and also provide finger protection when a technique requires them to be placed above the crossguard. The pommel is bolted on. Of course this golden stage combat rapier comes with a leather scabbard with a golden mount and chape.
