Five swords – From the XVI to the XIX century
by Iacopo Iacoponi and Francesco Prati, 2022
The Thiago smallsword is an exact, functional sport replica of an original piece from the private collection of Iacopo Iacoponi, collector and head coach of the Confraternita della Spada Club in Florence. This smallsword exemplifies the pinnacle of 18th-century craftsmanship, combining precision, balance, and elegance.
What’s to know:
• Wide finger rings and asymmetrical quillions designed for maximum ergonomic comfort
• Hilt crafted from pure brass, featuring a double shell guard for enhanced hand protection
• Straight blade with a diamond cross-section, optimized for thrusting techniques and dominance in engagements
• Designed to excel against foil blades typically found on commercial smallswords
• Oval pommel intricately detailed, reflecting historical significance as both a weapon and status symbol
• Suitable for Master Domenico Angelo’s techniques and earlier as well
• Malleus Martialis Dismountable System, for durability and easy maintenance
Weighing approximately 550 grams, the Thiago smallsword is exceptionally agile and responsive, making it ideal for Historical European Martial Arts (HEMA).
