We will use extra glue to hold tight the grip, pommel, and nut. It will not unscrew without extra heat applied to the pommel. This creates a stronger solid blade. But limited options for swapping out the blade later.

We worked with some folk at Austin Historical Combat Guild to get a shorter, quicker sword. This is what we came up with for superior training and tournament fighting.

Made in Hungary to special specifications for Purpleheart Armoury, and upgraded with a USA-made stainless steel pommel.
