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.

In Mastering the Art of Arms, Volume One: The Medieval Dagger, Guy Windsor presents a complete guide to the principles and practice of Italian dagger combat, as set down in Il Fior di Battaglia, a manuscript written in 1410. Readers are guided step-by-step through the process of mastering this six hundred year old art, from choosing a dagger to striking with it; from guard positions to steps and turns; from disarms to locks and takedowns; from safe falling practice to formal drills, and finally pressure testing their skills with sparring.

Both a primer on the art and a methodology for on-going training, this book will give the complete novice a solid starting point, while providing useful drills and ideas for advanced martial artists. Those who study other traditional knife arts, and modern military combatives, will find many familiar techniques present in this ancient system.
