Signorelli Sidesword: The Soldier’s Vigor
The Signorelli Sidesword Op.II, or Opera Seconda, draws inspiration from 15th century artist Luca Signorelli, an Italian Renaissance master celebrated for his intense portrayals of soldiers, warriors, and complex battle scenes. Known for his expressive, robust figures, Signorelli captured the vigor and movement of martial life with a focus on meticulously detailed weaponry and armor. His frescoes, particularly those in Orvieto Cathedral, reflect his fascination with the human form in motion and the art of combat. This refined model honors Signorelli and Italian Renaissance artistry, blending martial function with the late 15th century aesthetics.
Enhanced by our exclusive Modular Sword System™, the Signorelli Op.II is completely dismountable and offers three adaptable configurations, each designed to suit different combat styles. The options range from a bulb pommel with no small port for lightweight versatility, to one with a single compact port for added hand protection, and finally to a model with two small ports, maximizing defense without compromising the sword’s nimble handling. The lack of a knuckle bow makes this sidesword ideal for any type of glove, offering full ambidexterity across all configurations. Additionally, the heat-treated guard increases durability, while the newly designed grip provides a more substantial feel for better control.
FEATURES:
- Light and fully ambidextrous: Around 1 kilogram and ambidextrous in all configurations.
- Heat-treated guard and blade: Ensures resilience and durability.
- Three configurations: Offers customizable hand protection with varying port options.
- Diamond narrow blade: Provides precise control for binding and thrusting.
