| Light/Flexible/Featherweight | Medium | Strong/Tournament |
| Our Featherweight series of blades are intended for light very controlled sparring. Or used in coaching sessions, that work repetitive drills, particularly thrusting. The extra flex is very forgiving on your coach. The down side is the durability is lower. The blade can be considered too flexible by some. The flex will not be as controllable during strong moves. You may feel it flex during cuts. Opponents with a stiffer blade will be able to control your blade much more. An excessive bend put in the blade due to an excessive thrust can begin the cycle of the blade holding a bend and is not covered by warranty. This is not to be used in tournaments. VIDEO WARRANTY: 6 MONTHS | Our medium flex blades are also a specialized tool. They are good for day to day training and moderate controlled sparring. They are forgiving to your opponent so will leave fewer bruises. Its a lighter blade so you tip will be quicker than heavier swords. On strong cuts you may feel the blade flex. This is the VB Techniques line of sword. These are still not tournament swords, and aggressive thrust can cause the sword to hold the bend and not covered by warranty. This is not to be used in tournaments. VIDEO WARRANTY: 6 MONTHS | Designed for heavier tournament use at full speed and force. Its going to stay accurate and strong during thrusting and binging moves. It will flex on thrusts but harder. It will hit harder and full protective gear is required. But the blade will have a longer lifespan since over bending is less likely to happen. You will have greater control over your opponents swords during fencing and binding. VIDEO WARRANTY: 1 Year |
