510,00 € excl. VAT
The Duelist Sidesword for Renaissance Historical Fencing draws upon the swashbuckling heroes of The Three Musketeers and The Count of Monte Cristo, blending strength and elegance with enhanced protection. The upper and lower ports offer hand safety, making it an excellent choice for dynamic fencing attitudes. Its versatile design and historical flair make it ideal for Historical European Martial Arts (HEMA), Society for Creative Anachronism (SCA), historical fencing, stage fencing, and film productions.
Duelist Sidesword: The Righteous Revenant
The Duelist Sidesword evokes images of swashbuckling heroes in classic literature or films, such as The Three Musketeers, Cyrano de Bergerac, or Count of Monte Cristo. These characters were often depicted as expert swordsmen, and their weapons were part of their identity as skilled and honorable duelists. Although this sword is rooted in an earlier period and tradition, this homage seeks to preserve the captivating legacy of that literary imagery, which resonates with the timeless appeal of this refined weapon.
Our latest redesign focuses on improving wrist ergonomics with the new fig pommel , advancing our universal “Modular Sword System™” goal. The grip offers a more substantial feel for better handling, while the guard is heat-treated. The Duelist’s upper and lower ports provide enhanced coverage, offering protection to the single hand by effectively shielding it from the opponent’s strikes.
FEATURES:
- Agile and versatile: Around 1.2 kilograms, it adapts perfectly to Renaissance fencing techniques.
- Heat-treated crossguard and blade: Ensures resilience and longevity.
- Two pommel styles: Choose the fig for thrusting or the disc for stronger cuts.
- Diamond wide blade: Offers superior control in binding and fluid cutting motion.
- Comfortable ricasso: Rounded ricasso enhances grip comfort.
- Blunt edges, high flexibility and thickened tip: Prioritizes safety in HEMA training and competition.
- Historical design with modern upgrades: Inspired by originals and training swords from the first half of the 16th century, designed specifically for Martial Arts and Historical Fencing.
The Duelist sidesword combines versatility for the modern fencer, and those who value historical refinement, crafted for seamless integration with various companion tools—whether wielding a buckler, targa, parrying dagger, or a case of swords.
