  • SIGI Forge King Feder

    1 Review(s)

    Throughout the ages, the sword has been a symbol of protection, justice and righteousness. It is the noblest of all arms and the very essence of knighthood. Ladies and gentlemen, we would like to introduce to you the mighty SIGI King, a premium product for those who seek the most realistic experience in their practice of the noble art of fencing.

    Apart from aesthetic looks, SIGI King – like any other SIGI product - is a practical sword. It is developed and created in a way that allows you to use it not only in training and practice but also in sparring and tournaments. Its dimensions and characteristics are similar to our Feders, but the feeling of a regularly shaped blade gives different handling. It features a safe, spatulated tip and flexes as any other SIGI Feder.

    Total length: 135 cm
    Blade length: 101 cm
    Grip length: 26 cm
    Cross Guard: 30 cm
    Flexibility: 12.5 kg
    Weight: 1620 g
    Point of Balance (PoB): 6-7 cm
    Blade: Steel
    Edge: Blunt
    Pommel: Facetted 
    Scabbard: None

  • SIGI Forge Gothic Feder

    The Gothic Feder is inspired by the decorations which are often to be found on late medieval armours, called also gothic armour.

    The schilt features five and a half double-sided fullers which create spectacular arches. The model comes as is meaning by default you will get a waisted grip, and a beautiful octagonal pommel.

    Blade length: 101 cm
    Grip length: 26 cm
    Cross Guard: 30 cm
    Flexibility: 12.5 kg
    Weight: 1600 g

  • SIGI Forge Standard Federschwert

    The SIGI Standard Federschwert has been finetuned according to our long-term experience as swordsmen to mirror the needs of everyone. It has been developed with the same attitude we have towards the practice of medieval martial arts.

    The SIGI Feder is a very versatile sword. Gentle in the thrust (great flex, spatulated tip), yet firm in the strong part. The point of balance feels significantly lighter and flies almost on its own. The best choice not only for starting fencers but also for experienced fighters.

    Total length: 135 cm
    Blade length: 101 cm
    Grip length: 26 cm
    Weight: 1630g
    Point of Balance (PoB): 5.5 cm
    Blade: Steel
    Edge: Blunt
    Pommel: Pear
    Scabbard: None

  • Kingston Arms Federschwert

    1 Review(s)

    Based on a period original fencing sword now located in Switzerland, the Kingston Arms Federschwert is a well updated version of the feder originally offered by Hanwei in 2010. This sword now features a much more robust blade from tang to tip as well as a tougher cord wrapped grip.

    In our testing, it holds up well to paired drilling as well as more spirited free play sessions. Re-developed in conjunction with several HEMA groups around the US this updated Federschwert provides an affordable and reliable training sword for longsword fencing practice.

    Overall: 129.54cm
    Blade Length: 96.52cm
    Handle Length: 31.75cm
    Weight: 1672g
    Point of Balance: 9cm
    Thickness at Guard: 8mm
    Thickness at Tip: 2.5mm
    Blade Steel: 5160
    Handle Material: Cord
    Scabbard: None

    All dimensions are approximate and may vary from piece to piece.
