Hanwei Practical Norman Sword – £60

The practical Norman Sword features a “tea-cosy” pommel and a sculptured cross that curves gently towards the blade. The broad blade has full-length fullers and is very lively for an un-edged blade. While the blades are substantial, they are fullered to provide balance and good handling characteristics. They feature 2 mm wide edges and rounded tips for safety. The tangs are also substantial, with radiused corners at the blade shoulders and no welds. The hardwood grips are leather-covered. The scabbards are fabricated in glass-filled resin, to provide great impact resistance, to eliminate swelling and to minimize blade corrosion problems.

Scottish Court sword – £150

This sword has a distinct taper at the tip, and although not a “sharp” sword would need the tip blunting before it could safely be used for paired drill work or sparring.

Hutton Sabre – £55

Alfred Hutton, a British fencing master and advocate of the French school of fencing, did much for the modernisation of sabre techniques. This Sabre is crafted after an original with a stainless steel guard & a wire-wrapped (imitation) sharkskin grip. The blade & hilt of the sabre are closer in style to that of the true military sabre, with the blade being somewhat shortened & lightened, with a rounded tip for effective training.
