Kingston Arms Sport Feder – Longsword Sparring (Zweihänder)

The Kingston Arms Sport Feder is the ideal choice for clubs, beginners, and experienced practitioners seeking a lightweight, swift, secure, and cost-effective sparring sword for HEMA longsword training. This federschwert specifically caters to safety during thrusts by incorporating flex in the last third of the blade, while maintaining stiffness in the rest of the sword to enhance binding techniques. Additionally, the tip has a slight flare in thickness and can be used as is, with appropriate equipment, or equipped with a leather mask or plastic tip for an added layer of safety.

Among its notable features is a ramped thumb guard, which facilitates effortless placement and removal of a gloved thumb onto the blade during guard transitions. The pommel is precisely aligned with the blade's flat, allowing for instinctive recognition of proper edge alignment using the rear hand. The wooden core grip boasts a comfortably rounded rectangular cross-section and is securely wrapped with cord for a firm and dependable hold.
