Hanwei Items
Japanese/Chinese
Practical Katana SH1070
The ever-popular Practical Katana gives the martial artist the opportunity to own and use a
Hanwei sword at the cost of an economy sword. The blades are forged and differentially
hardened, using the same process as the more expensive blades and producing an HRC60 edge
and HRC40 back. The temper line is authentic and prominent. Cost savings are effected by using
fittings which, while making no claims to authenticity, are very strongly built to withstand the
rigors of cutting exercises in the dojo.

Medieval European
Practical Single-Hand Sword SH2046
The Practical Single-Hand Sword is based on the Marshall sword, so named for one of England’s
finest knights of the latter half of the 12th century. The sword is classically styled, with a
cruciform hilt, wheel pommel and a ridged-and-fullered blade that is both stiff and surprisingly
light. With a weight of less than 2 ½ lbs., the sword can be wielded forcefully without undue
wear and tear on the arm.

early part of the 15th century, with a simple cruciform hilt, flattened diamond-section blade and
typical hand-and-a-half grip. With a weight of just 3 ¼ lbs. it handles very well without tiring the

Blunt Tinker 9th Century Viking Sword SH2409
While not a direct copy of any particular sword, the Viking sword design was inspired by
historical examples from the early 9th Century, most notably finds from the area around
Trondheim, Norway, where the circular indentation hilt decoration was popular.The scabbards
are provided with suspension points and a period chape, giving the sheathed sword a very
attractive appearance. The construction of the Viking "pair" differs from other swords in the
Tinker series inasmuch as they are tang-riveted (peened) in period fashion at the pommel,
primarily to satisfy Viking re-enactment requirements, and the blunt blade design is very much
directed towards re-enactment rather than sparring.

century Scandinavia. The lobate pommel and down-turned guard are typical of Viking swords of
the period, as is the broad blade with its deep, full-length fullers. The sword is well-balanced
and, with a weight slightly over 2 lbs., it is very quick.

Practical Norman Sword SH2326
An important addition to our European practical line is the Practical Norman sword, based on a
classic 11th century pattern popular during the Norman Invasion of Britain. The high-carbon
deeply-fullered blade is light and wellbalanced, with the wide edges required by
the re-enactment community. The guard is
wider than that of the earlier Viking
designs that preceded this pattern and the
pommel is of the “tea-cosy” type. The grip
is grooved and leather-wrapped and the
scabbard is left plain for owner
decoration.

SH2428 Practical Bastard Sword
Designed specifically for re-enactors, this Bastard sword is forged in 5160 high-carbon steel, to
minimize burring, and the transverse thickness of the guard has been increased, both to provide
adequate strength for re-enactment use and to present a safer profile at the ends of the guard.
Another innovation is the provision of an all-leather scabbard, in contrast with the rigid
scabbards normally provided with our Practical swords - this is designed both to provide an extra
margin of safety when combatants fall on the scabbard in battle and also to minimize the need
for replacement scabbards. The sword is supplied with the grip and scabbard in a neutral-colored
leather to allow customization to the owners taste.

Practical Schlaeger Rapier SH1099 and SH1098
The Schlaeger Rapiers utilize a popular swept hilt, modified to accommodate our schlaeger
blades in 37” (SH1099) and 43” (SH1098) lengths. These tapered blades provide a superior
balance compared to the traditional parallel-sided schlaegers, making for a faster sword.
Our Renaissance-style Rapiers trace their origins to early 17th century Europe, where swordplay
with the Rapier was considered an essential part of a gentleman’s education and was often used
in resolving gentlemanly disagreements. Blades generally originated in one of the blade making
centers such as Toledo or Solingen, but many differences in styling and hilt materials resulted
from the local manufacture of hilts all over Europe.
The Main Gauche, or left hand dagger, was often used with the rapier, providing an added
dimension in both offense and defense, and the “Schools of Fence” which proliferated in Europe
during this period taught the use of the two weapons in combination. The Main Gauche would
often match the Rapier in styling, while incorporating features which maximized the
effectiveness of the piece.

Our Renaissance-style Rapiers trace their origins to early 17th century Europe, where swordplay with the Rapier
was considered an essential part of a gentleman’s education and was often used in resolving gentlemanly
disagreements. Blades generally originated in one of the blade making centers such as Toledo or Solingen, but many
differences in styling and hilt materials resulted from the local manufacture of hilts all over Europe.

The Main Gauche, or left hand dagger, was often used with the rapier, providing an added dimension in both offense
and defense, and the “Schools of Fence” which proliferated in Europe during this period taught the use of the two
weapons in combination. The Main Gauche would often match the Rapier in styling, while incorporating features
which maximized the effectiveness of the piece. Blunt replacement blades are available for most of the Rapiers and
Main Gauches for stage combat and re-enactment purposes.
Fencing Main Gauche SH1033
The Fencing Main Gauche is made as a match for the SH1032 and SH1032B Fencing Rapiers. It
is fitted with a training blade that combines adequate parrying stiffness at the forte with tip
flexibility for safety, making the piece ideal for two-weapon sparring. Our OH2256 blade is
available for replacing severely worn or damaged blades.

Re-Enactment Swords
Our Practical broadswords are all based on authentically styled swords in our collection but they are tailored to meet
the needs of re-enactment and stage combat. These very popular and affordable weapons feature authentic hilt
styling, with fully tempered un-edged and un-pointed blades. They are designed to withstand rugged use while
providing the level of safety required by many of today’s re-enactment societies. The blades are crafted from 1065
high-carbon steel, hardened to 50HRC, which restricts edge-notching to acceptable levels while providing resilience
and protection against brittleness. While the blades are substantial, they are fullered to provide balance and good
handling characteristics. They feature 1/16” wide edges and rounded tips for safety. The tangs are also substantial,
with radiused corners at the blade shoulders and no welds. The end of the tang is riveted over the pommel, which
both eliminates any possibility of inadvertent disassembly. The hardwood grips are leather-covered. The scabbards
are fabricated in glass-filled resin, to eliminate swelling and to minimize blade corrosion problems, with belt rings
that adjust to allow vertical or horizontal carry. The wood-grain finish is attractive, but most re-enactors will
decorate the scabbard to match their persona.
Please note that although the weapons listed below are specifically intended for re-enactment use, the rapiers listed
on the Renaissance European page may be made to comply with regulations by replacing the blade with the
applicable "practical" blade.
Practical Single-Hand Sword SH2046
The Practical Single-Hand Sword is based on the Marshall
sword, so named for one of England’s finest knights of the
latter half of the 12th century. The sword is classically styled,
with a cruciform hilt, wheel pommel and a ridged-andfullered blade that is both stiff and surprisingly light. With a
weight of less than 2 ½ lbs., the sword can be wielded
forcefully without undue wear and tear on the arm.

Blunt Tinker 9th Century Viking Sword SH2409
While not a direct copy of any particular sword, the Viking sword design was inspired by
historical examples from the early 9th Century, most notably finds from the area around
Trondheim, Norway, where the circular indentation hilt decoration was popular.The scabbards
are provided with suspension points and a period chape, giving the sheathed sword a very
attractive appearance. The construction of the Viking "pair" differs from other swords in the
Tinker series inasmuch as they are tang-riveted (peened) in period fashion at the pommel,
primarily to satisfy Viking re-enactment requirements, and the blunt blade design is very much
directed towards re-enactment rather than sparring.

SH2428 Practical Bastard Sword
Designed specifically for re-enactors, this Bastard sword is forged in 5160 high-carbon steel, to
minimize burring, and the transverse thickness of the guard has been increased, both to provide
adequate strength for re-enactment use and to present a safer profile at the ends of the guard.
Another innovation is the provision of an all-leather scabbard, in contrast with the rigid
scabbards normally provided with our Practical swords - this is designed both to provide an extra
margin of safety when combatants fall on the scabbard in battle and also to minimize the need
for replacement scabbards. The sword is supplied with the grip and scabbard in a neutral-colored
leather to allow customization to the owners taste.

Cutlass SH2374
Our Cutlass design is taken from an original made to the specifications of the Dutch East India
Company (Verenigde Oostindische Compagnie, VOC), dating from about 1780. The lightly
antiqued high carbon steel blade has a distal ta¬per, with fullers on both sides along the spine,
and handles well. It is fully tempered and while provided un-edged, for re-enactment purposes, it
is capable of taking and holding a useful edge. The solid brass hilt basket is matched by the
locket and chape of the leather-covered scabbard.

Sabres
One of the rapidly growing arts within historical fencing societies is that of sabre fencing in the late 19th century
Italian style, originating with fencing masters who were employed to train mounted troops in the effective use of the
military sabre. The Milanese fencing master Guiseppe Radaelli, is credited with starting the development of this
style, while Salvatore Pecoraro introduced changes and refinements which resulted in the technique finally adopted
for sabre at the Military Masters School in Rome. The hilt designs developed by Radaelli and Pecoraro have been
reproduced in our fencing sabers, with stainless steel guards and wire-wrapped sharkskin-pattern grips. The highcarbon flex-tempered steel blades closely follow the proportions of the period and are button-tipped for safety. The
blade and hilt of the “Hutton” sabre are closer to the style of the true military sabre.
Pecoraro Sabre SH2199
The Pecoraro Sabre features a full-cupped perforated guard, ridged for reinforcement at the
thinner pommel end of the "D". The high-carbon steel blade is very flexible towards the tip. A
replacement blade (OH2264) is available.
