SPES Synthetic Dussack with Nagal & Grip Overlay

Synthetic Dussack is our modern interpretation of training weapon which used to be made of wood or sometimes leather. Dussack was used by training groups across many centuries as a simulator of short, single-edged weapons. Our product, thanks to being made of polyamide, is very durable and safe to use.

To increase the protection of your hands, we added a nagel to the dussack that can be adjusted both to the left and right hands. Additionally, the dussack's grip is covered with anti-slip tape HANDaGRIP® and an overlay made of synthetic leather, which will improve your grip.
