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
This sword was exactly like it was described. The communication with the sales rep was great. Shipping was quick. And the product was perfect

Harnischfechten Sword
This is an ideal weapon for use where leverage and ability to throw your opponent with halfsword techniques. It looks great, is durable and has taken lots of abuse. The blade does not need a lot of maintenance from getting nicked up. The wire wrap is durable and preserves the grip after repeatedly getting caught up in armor.

Great sword and fast service
I am really impressed with the speed which Purple heart ships their products to me here in Canada. Quality of the products is always great and the service is consistently good. Definitely excited to use this sword as soon as the pandemic finally let's fighting get started again.
