This sword is designed for HEMA Harnischfechten armoured harness combat tournaments. A very stiff and thick blade with very little flex. The wire wrap on the grip helps protect the grip from getting torn up by steel gauntlets.
Made exclusively for Purpleheart Armoury in Hungary. The design come from research in the Vienna Museum.
This is not a Buhurt sword, but a HEMA sword for fighting in armour. They are only thrusting in armour weakpoints. No strikes, its very stiff.
so its not a typical Feder. I think the tip is to skinny to be legal in Buhurt as well.
Overall Length: 49" Blade Length: 36.5" Center of Balance: 4" from Grip. Weight: 4lb 0oz Blade Thickness: 0.24" (6 mm) at the tip Blade Stiffness: Very SCA Flex Test: Fail Blade Material: 51 CRV4 Carbon Steel Grip Length: 10" Grip Material: Brown or Black leather grip Pommel: Peened
Great weight and balance. I’d love to see future options for guards and pommels.

Excellent for fighting in harness
Just as described, this sword is very stiff. It works very well for leveraging and fighting in half sword. The grip is comfortable. Overall it looks great in the lists!

Incredible Product!
This sword not only looks amazing, it feels amazing too. Its got incredible balance and weight, and the grip on it is great in your hand. As happens sometimes, there was a small amount of rust on the Pommel and Crossguard, however I was able to clear it up with some elbow grease, polish and oil.
