Steel-to-Steel Competition Stage Combat Line SM
German Two Handed Practice Sword

Date circa 1450-1550 AD, German orgin, as illustrated by several artists and a few examples that survive today such as in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York.

This is a replica of the practice swords used by schools of combat in the medieval period, such as the German Marxbrüder. The design was used very widely and is often seen in the illustrations depicting fighting techniques in the fechtbuchs (fight manuals) of the period (See the picture below). This sword is based on these illustrations and some of the few surviving examples of this type of sword. The hilt furniture is steel, the grip being hardwood covered in leather. A smooth polished steel finish is used on the blade and handle parts. The blade is made of 5160 steel and has a steady taper from hilt to tip.

This shows the profile of the Practice swords used by the Renaissance German masters.  A narrow profile to the tip but keeping the blade wide at the base so there would be less chance of the blade snapping.

Also Note..
These instruments are NOT toys, their use requires the training and supervision of a qualified Teacher or Trainer in
 sword use or fencing. Their use in ANY other form (i.e. chopping trees down in the backyard, etc. ;-) can result
 in severe injury to the user and to the instrument, and is not warranted by Imperial Weapons. If you are not
qualified, DO NOT attempt to use these instruments before securing qualified instruction. Owning an instrument
 such as this carries with it a responsibility to gain the instruction needed to become proficient and qualified in its
 use. Users should contact a qualified Trainer or Teacher or join a fencing club to receive proper training. The
 necessary training is NOT available via books or videos; and no, it is definitely not as easy as it looks. Imperial
 Weapons, its employees, nor associated companies, assume no responsibility for injury, damage, or loss incurred
 by use of these instruments. All edged instruments can be dangerous when handled by ill-trained or
 non-trained personnel. We cannot stress too strongly that, without exception, the user of these instruments must
 get the proper training to insure their own safety and the safety of others.
