Wooden arming sword

The SPES wooden arming sword is a versatile training simulator, part of the long tradition of educational tools used in historical fencing schools. Made entirely of ash wood, this 92 cm sword offers an economical and safe alternative to steel simulators for beginners in HEMA.

The unique feature of this simulator lies in its 69 cm blade with an asymmetrical geometry. One side of the blade has a more pronounced edge, while the other is slightly truncated. This unique design allows for training in both arming sword and messer techniques, providing great versatility in learning.

The profiled handle ensures a comfortable grip, complemented by an integrated pommel and a simple yet robust guard. The wood surface is carefully sanded, revealing the natural grain of the ash, which improves the weapon's grip and control.

Weighing 1.05 kg, this simulator offers a good balance between realism and maneuverability, allowing for extended training sessions without excessive fatigue. The tip of the blade is rounded for added safety, although it is strongly recommended to use appropriate protective gear (mask, chest protector) during exercises.

It is important to note that the wood is not impregnated, allowing the user to customize it according to their preferences. To preserve the weapon's durability, it is advised to use it against simulators with similar properties and to avoid direct impacts on unprotected hard surfaces.

This SPES wooden arming sword represents an excellent choice for beginners in HEMA, offering an affordable and safe introduction to historical combat techniques with the arming sword and messer.
