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.

Designed as a youth longsword, and for drilling with instructors.
Only to be used against other Light flex/Featherswords. Any other use is NOT covered by the warranty.


This sword was designed to be lighter weight in the blade and have more flex. Better for quick bladework per Meyer plays, but harder to hold the center and have a stronger blade presence. Better for voiding and working around your opponent. The high flex blade is softer on hits as you train repetition drills with your instructor and students. This is not a tournament blade and warranty is limited.

Steel Feder made by Viktor Berbekucz in Hungary and made to special specifications for Purpleheart Armoury, and upgraded with a USA-made stainless steel pommel.

Good swords, a bunch of variation in blade
I got two of these, one had lettering, one didn't, the one without had a beautiful buttery flex of 19.7, the one with had a flex of 24.7 (6lbs over the upper limit), either they sent the wrong blade or the grind was the reason (I am still waiting on an answer to this)

Light and swift
Very good blade for light and easy movments. You might have some issue with heavier sword opponents, but that's a good challenge to solve.

My zwercopter goes swuh-swuh-swuh
Very lively and maneuverable, as promised! You do have to press a little harder in the bind, obviously. But why do that when you can just zwerch your way to the other side?
