The world of relatively inexpensive blunt theatrical and training swords has long been dominated by Paul Chen / Hanwei's Practical line, with Generation2 making a valiant encroachment into Hanwei's dominance. Windlass Steelcrafts have now entered into the fray, which means that TherionArms can now offer even more choices for my clientele to use in stage, film, and Western Martial Arts training!
Museum Replicas calls this sword the "Steel Two Hand Battle Sword". Here's what they say about these swords:
"After many requests, they're here! We are glad to offer our new line of blunt swords and rapiers developed for the rigors of mock combat. Each blade is built to withstand a lot of use by reenactors or stage performers. Forged of high carbon steel that's fully tempered. The edges and points are 3/16" thick and rounded over for better nick resistance. These are crafted just like our regular swords - peened steel and brass parts, and stout wood grips covered with leather. All come with scabbards."
Price: $190
