Marozzo Sword "Black Fencer"

Achille Marozzo, an Italian weapons master of the XVI century, greatly contributed to the codification and dissemination of Renaissance fencing. The Marozzo "Black Fencer" sword is directly inspired by his teachings, offering HEMA practitioners a faithful and safe reproduction for the study and practice of these historical techniques.

Design and materials:

This two-handed sword is the result of a collaboration between Black Fencer and HEMA experts. The blade, made from a high-density nylon alloy, offers medium flexibility that faithfully reproduces the feel of a steel blade while ensuring the safety of practitioners. The stainless steel guard and pommel not only provide an authentic aesthetic appearance, but also a realistic balance and weight.

Benefits for HEMA practitioners:

The controlled flexibility of the blade (static load of 15.2 kg) allows for safe thrusting techniques while offering sufficient resistance for cutting techniques and iron bindings. The balance point, located about 6 cm from the guard, offers exceptional maneuverability for a weapon of this size, facilitating the execution of the complex techniques described by Marozzo.

Improvements in Version 4.0:

• One-piece blade for better durability
• Pommel fixed by a steel rod to prevent any rotation
• Improved overall finish quality
• Handle covered with resistant and comfortable rope
• Reinforcement at the guard for better impact resistance
