16th c. sword inspired by originals and training swords that introduce the concept of counterguard with symmetrical ports.
The Chevalier I sidesword, with its wide blade, Fig pommel, curved quillions, knuckle bow and two small ports, offers a good balance between aestethics and protection. It is an excellent pairing with our buckler, targa, parrying dagger or a cape, but it also behaves perfectly as a sword alone. The Chevalier I sidesword is a sport version of the 16th century historical ones, simplified and designed specifically for HEMA.
