The blades are forged and differentially hardened, using the same process as the more expensive blades and producing an HRC60 edge and HRC40 back. The temper line is authentic and prominent. Cost savings are effected by using fittings which, while making no claims to authenticity, are very strongly built to withstand the rigors of cutting exercises in the dojo. Specifications: Overall: 39 1/2“ Blade Length: 27 1/4“ Handle Length: 11 1/4” Weight: 2lb 3oz Point of Balance: 5 3/4" Width at Guard: 1.22" Width at Tip: .87" Thickness at Guard: .27" Thickness at Tip: .18" Sori: 3/4" Cost: $242.00 Key Features 9/11 High carbon forged blade Differentially tempered Fully functional www.stageswords.com 10 Practical Gongfu Broadsword SH2063 The Practical Gongfu Broadsword sword is a further extension of our “Practical” Series. Featuring a distal-tapered high carbon steel blade, wrapped grip and steel fittings, the saber is a traditional ox-tail design. The textured wooden scabbard is designed with a slotted opening, which makes both for easy sheathing and graceful lines. In line with other swords in the “Practical” series, the Practical Gongfu Broadsword is very affordable. Specifications: Overall: 33 1/4“ Blade Length: 28“ Handle Length: 5 1/2” Weight: 1lb 10oz Point of Balance: 8" Width at Guard: 1.37" Width at Tip: 2.4" Thickness at Guard: .18" Cost: $183.00 Key Features distal-tapered high carbon steel blade wooden scabbard black finish 9/11 www.stageswords.com 11 Medieval European Practical Single-Hand Sword SH2046 The Practical Single-Hand Sword is based on the Marshall sword, so named for one of England’s finest knights of the latter half of the 12th century. The sword is classically styled, with a cruciform hilt, wheel pommel and a ridged-and-fullered blade that is both stiff and surprisingly light. With a weight of less than 2 ½ lbs., the sword can be wielded forcefully without undue wear and tear on the arm. Specifications: Overall: 36 1/2“ Blade Length: 30“ Handle Length: 6 1/2” Weight: 2lb 7oz Thickness at Guard: .230 Cost: $123.00 Key Features 9/11 Made for the reenactor Authentic look and feel Complies with safety requirements www.stageswords.com 12 Practical Hand-and-a-Half Sword SH2106 The Practical Hand-and-a Half sword is based on the Albrecht sword, a classic design from the early part of the 15th century, with a simple cruciform hilt, flattened diamond-section blade and typical hand-and-a-half grip. With a weight of just 3 ¼ lbs. it handles very well without tiring the player during a long day in the field. Specifications Overall: 43 3/4“ Blade Length: 34“ Handle Length: 6 1/2” Weight: 2lb 12oz Point of Balance: 4" Point of Harmonics: 23" Width at Guard: 1.75" Width at Tip: .51" Thickness at Guard: .21" Thickness at Tip: .19" Cost: $140.00 Key Features 9/11 Made for the reenactor Fullered blade Authentic look and feel www.stageswords.com 13 Blunt Tinker 9th Century Viking Sword SH2409 While not a direct copy of any particular sword, the Viking sword design was inspired by historical examples from the early 9th Century, most notably finds from the area around Trondheim, Norway, where the circular indentation hilt decoration was popular.The scabbards are provided with suspension points and a period chape, giving the sheathed sword a very attractive appearance. The construction of the Viking "pair" differs from other swords in the Tinker series inasmuch as they are tang-riveted (peened) in period fashion at the pommel, primarily to satisfy Viking re-enactment requirements, and the blunt blade design is very much directed towards re-enactment rather than sparring. Specifications: Overall: 37 1/2" Blade Length: 30 1/8" Handle Length: 6 1/2" Weight: 2 lb 12 oz Cost: $290.00 Key Features 9/11 5160 Marquenched Spring Steel Peened Pommel Tinker Approved www.stageswords.com 14 Practical Viking Sword SH2047 The Practical Viking sword is based on our Godfred sword, whose design originated in 9th century Scandinavia. The lobate pommel and down-turned guard are typical of Viking swords of the period, as is the broad blade with its deep, full-length fullers. The sword is well-balanced and, with a weight slightly over 2 lbs., it is very quick. Specifications: Overall: 33 1/2“ Blade Length: 28“ Handle Length: 5 3/4” Weight: 2lb 2oz Thickness at Guard: .20 Cost: $114.00 Key Features 9/11 Made for the re-enactor Authentic look and feel Complies with safety requirements www.stageswords.com 15 Blunt Tinker Longsword SH2395 Our Tinker Longswords (Oakeshott Type XVIIIa) provide the WMA practitioner with a fast, well-balanced pair of swords that will perform beautifully in skilled hands.

Specifications: Overall: 47" Blade Length: 35" Handle Length: 12" Weight: 2lb 14oz Point of Balance: 3 1/2" Point of Harmonics: 21 3/4" Width at Guard: 2 1/4" Width at Tip: 11/16" Thickness at Guard: .25" Thickness at Tip: .07" Blade Steel: 5160 Spring Steel Hrc Edge: 50~53 Hrc Handle Material: Leather over cord wrap, wooden cord Cost: $299.00 Key Features 9/11 5160 Marquenched Spring Steel Dismountable Tinker approved www.stageswords.com 16 Blunt Tinker Bastard Sword SH2401 Our Tinker Bastard sword is based on the Oakeshott Type XVIIIA. The blunt has a long, broad fuller, to compensate for the edge thickness, and the tip is sufficiently flexible to provide an adequate level of safety. Wheel-type pommels are sized to provide a grip for the second hand when required, and the straight tapering cross provides excellent hand protection. Specifications: Overall: 42 3/4" Blade Length: 33 3/8" Handle Length: 9 3/8" Weight: 2 lb 6 oz Cost: $282.00 Key Features 9/11 5160 Marquenched Spring Steel Dismountable Tinker Approved www.stageswords.com 17 Blunt Tinker Early Medieval Sword SH2405 Our Tinker Early Medieval Sword is a single-hand Oakeshott Type XII pieces.

Both are harmonically balanced, optimizing the handling characteristics of this sharp version for the re-enactor. The blade is forged in 5160 high carbon steel and marquenched to HRc50-52, providing anti-burr safety. The grip is wood-cored and leather-covered over a cord wrap. Specifications: Overall: 36" Blade Length: 30 3/4" Handle Length: 5" Weight: 2lb 5oz Cost: $282.00 Key Features 9/11 5160 Marquenched Spring Steel Peened Pommel Tinker Approved www.stageswords.com 19 Practical Norman Sword SH2326 An important addition to our European practical line is the Practical Norman sword, based on a classic 11th century pattern popular during the Norman Invasion of Britain. The high-carbon deeply-fullered blade is light and wellbalanced, with the wide edges required by the re-enactment community. The guard is wider than that of the earlier Viking designs that preceded this pattern and the pommel is of the “tea-cosy” type. The grip is grooved and leather-wrapped and the scabbard is left plain for owner decoration. Specifications Overall: 36” Blade Length: 30” Weight: 2lb 5oz Cost: $123.00 Key Features 9/11 Made for the re-enactor Authentic look and feel Complies with safety requirements www.stageswords.com 20 Renaissance European Swords Practical Basket Hilt Broadsword SH2059 The Practical Basket-Hilt Broadsword is built for the re-enactor. The blade is unsharpened, with 1/16” safety edges and rounded tips, complying with the combat rules of many re-enactment societies.

The basket is identical to the edged version (SH2003), but the blade is unsharpened, with 1/16” safety edges and rounded tips, complying with the combat rules of many re-enactment societies. The blade is crafted in 1065 high-carbon steel, hardened to 50HRC, which reduces edge-notching to acceptable levels while providing resilience and protection against brittleness. The scabbard is finished in matte black, ready for owner customization if desired.

Side sword sparring, in both sword and buckler and sword and dagger modes is becoming increasingly popular with many proponents among the ranks of the various Renaissance societies. Specifications: Overall: 42 1/2" Blade Length: 36" Handle Length: 6" Weight: 2lb 12oz Cost: $202.00 Key Features 9/11 Authentic Styling Safe Sparring Excellent Balance www.stageswords.com 24 SH2428 Practical Bastard Sword Designed specifically for re-enactors, this Bastard sword is forged in 5160 high-carbon steel, to minimize burring, and the transverse thickness of the guard has been increased, both to provide adequate strength for re-enactment use and to present a safer profile at the ends of the guard. Another innovation is the provision of an all-leather scabbard, in contrast with the rigid scabbards normally provided with our Practical swords - this is designed both to provide an extra margin of safety when combatants fall on the scabbard in battle and also to minimize the need for replacement scabbards. The sword is supplied with the grip and scabbard in a neutral-colored leather to allow customization to the owners taste. Specifications Overall: 49 1/2" Blade Length: 38" Handle Length: 11" Weight: 3lb 10oz Blade Steel: 5160 Cost: $237.00 Key Features 9/11 5160 Steel Dyable Leather Handle/Scabbard Built for reenactors www.stageswords.com 25 SH1032 Fencing Rapier Musketeer Blade The ever-popular Fencing Rapier, a standard in the sport, is available with either the Schlaeger blade (SH1032B) or double-wide Epee (Musketeer) blade (SH1032). Either blade will fit the OL301 sheath. Specifications: Overall: 41” Blade Length: 33 7/8” Handle Length: 5” Weight: 1lb 7oz Cost: $177.00 Key Features 9/11 Musketeer double-wide epee blade Designed for the Renaissance fencer Very quick www.stageswords.com 26 Practical Schlaeger Rapier SH1099 and SH1098 The Schlaeger Rapiers utilize a popular swept hilt, modified to accommodate our schlaeger blades in 37” (SH1099) and 43” (SH1098) lengths. These tapered blades provide a superior balance compared to the traditional parallel-sided schlaegers, making for a faster sword. Our Renaissance-style Rapiers trace their origins to early 17th century Europe, where swordplay with the Rapier was considered an essential part of a gentleman’s education and was often used in resolving gentlemanly disagreements. Blades generally originated in one of the blade making centers such as Toledo or Solingen, but many differences in styling and hilt materials resulted from the local manufacture of hilts all over Europe. The Main Gauche, or left hand dagger, was often used with the rapier, providing an added dimension in both offense and defense, and the “Schools of Fence” which proliferated in Europe during this period taught the use of the two weapons in combination. The Main Gauche would often match the Rapier in styling, while incorporating features which maximized the effectiveness of the piece. Specifications (37”) Overall: 43 1/2“ Blade Length: 37“ Weight: 2lb 3oz Specifications (43”) Overall: 49 1/4“ Blade Length: 43“ Weight: 2lb 5oz Cost: $149.00 Key Features 9/11 High-carbon steel blade Excellent balance Button-tipped www.stageswords.com 27 Practical Cup Hilt Rapier SH2261 Designed for the rapier fencer with a preference for the cup-hilt style who wishes to spar in safety, our Practical Cup-Hilt Rapier fits the bill perfectly. The rapier blade is similar in design to the practical blades for the swept-hilts but the length of the tang is adapted to the cup-hilt. The SH2262 Main Gauche matches this rapier. Specifications: Overall: 44 1/2" Blade Length: 37" Weight: 2lb Point of Balance: 5 1/2" Point of Harmonics: 20" Width at Guard: .75" Width at Tip: .40" Thickness at Guard: .25" Thickness at Tip: .10" Cost: $212.00 Key Features 9/11 Safe Sparring High-Carbon Flex-Tempered Blade Matching Set www.stageswords.com 28 Washington Blade SH2325 This version of our Washington Court Sword is built for stage combat and historical fencing practice. The hilt is pure Court Sword (replicating George Washington`s inauguration sword), with all of the "flash" needed for the stage, but the blade is a modern epee blade, providing both a very quick and safe sword and the capability of replacing severely worn blades. An attractive leather scabbard is included. Specifications Overall: 44 ½” Blade Length: 34 ½” Handle Length: 4” Weight: 1lb 13oz Cost: $229.00 9/11 www.stageswords.com 29 Practical Federschwert Longsword SH2333 Our all new Practical Fencing Longsword (or Federschwert) is based on classical training pieces used in Renaissance Europe. This uniquely styled sword is featured in many period fencing manuals and is rapidly gaining popularity with modern practitioners of European martial arts. Designed in conjunction with the OCHS historic fencing organization in Germany, our Federschwert optimizes all of the balance and flexibility characteristics required for serious pursuit of this historic art.

The lightly antiqued high carbon steel blade has a distal ta¬per, with fullers on both sides along the spine, and handles well. It is fully tempered and while provided un-edged, for re-enactment purposes, it is capable of taking and holding a useful edge. The solid brass hilt basket is matched by the locket and chape of the leather-covered scabbard. Specifications Overall: 31 ¼” Blade Length: 25” Weight: 2lb 2oz Key Features Forged High-Carbon Blade Brass hilt Museum replica Cost: $193.00 9/11 www.stageswords.com 31 Our Renaissance-style Rapiers trace their origins to early 17th century Europe, where swordplay with the Rapier was considered an essential part of a gentleman’s education and was often used in resolving gentlemanly disagreements. Blades generally originated in one of the blade making centers such as Toledo or Solingen, but many differences in styling and hilt materials resulted from the local manufacture of hilts all over Europe. Rapier – Wood Grip SH1024 (Sharp) This Swept-Hilt Rapier features classical lines, with a high-carbon steel flex-tempered blade, a stainless steel hilt (for reduced maintenance) and a hardwood grip.

These very popular and affordable weapons feature authentic hilt styling, with fully tempered un-edged and un-pointed blades. They are designed to withstand rugged use while providing the level of safety required by many of today’s re-enactment societies. The blades are crafted from 1065 high-carbon steel, hardened to 50HRC, which restricts edge-notching to acceptable levels while providing resilience and protection against brittleness. While the blades are substantial, they are fullered to provide balance and good handling characteristics. They feature 1/16” wide edges and rounded tips for safety. The tangs are also substantial, with radiused corners at the blade shoulders and no welds. The end of the tang is riveted over the pommel, which both eliminates any possibility of inadvertent disassembly. The hardwood grips are leather-covered. The scabbards are fabricated in glass-filled resin, to eliminate swelling and to minimize blade corrosion problems, with belt rings that adjust to allow vertical or horizontal carry. The wood-grain finish is attractive, but most re-enactors will decorate the scabbard to match their persona. Please note that although the weapons listed below are specifically intended for re-enactment use, the rapiers listed on the Renaissance European page may be made to comply with regulations by replacing the blade with the applicable "practical" blade. Practical Single-Hand Sword SH2046 The Practical Single-Hand Sword is based on the Marshall sword, so named for one of England’s finest knights of the latter half of the 12th century. The sword is classically styled, with a cruciform hilt, wheel pommel and a ridged-andfullered blade that is both stiff and surprisingly light. With a weight of less than 2 ½ lbs., the sword can be wielded forcefully without undue wear and tear on the arm.

The construction of the Viking "pair" differs from other swords in the Tinker series inasmuch as they are tang-riveted (peened) in period fashion at the pommel, primarily to satisfy Viking re-enactment requirements, and the blunt blade design is very much directed towards re-enactment rather than sparring.

The sword is well-balanced and, with a weight slightly over 2 lbs., it is very quick.

The blade is unsharpened, with 1/16” safety edges and rounded tips, complying with the combat rules of many re-enactment societies. The blade is crafted in 1065 high-carbon steel, hardened to 50HRC, which reduces edgenotching to acceptable levels while providing resilience and protection against brittleness. The scabbard is finished in matte black, ready for owner customization if desired.

The high-carbon deeply-fullered blade is light and well-balanced, with the wide edges required by the reenactment community. The guard is wider than that of the earlier Viking designs that preceded this pattern and the pommel is of the “tea-cosy” type The grip is grooved and leather-wrapped and the scabbard is left plain for owner decoration.

Specifications: Overall: 36" Blade Length: 30 3/4" Handle Length: 5" Weight: 2lb 5oz Cost: $282.00 Key Features 9/11 5160 Marquenched Spring Steel Peened Pommel Tinker Approved www.stageswords.com 55 SH2428 Practical Bastard Sword Designed specifically for re-enactors, this Bastard sword is forged in 5160 high-carbon steel, to minimize burring, and the transverse thickness of the guard has been increased, both to provide adequate strength for re-enactment use and to present a safer profile at the ends of the guard. Another innovation is the provision of an all-leather scabbard, in contrast with the rigid scabbards normally provided with our Practical swords - this is designed both to provide an extra margin of safety when combatants fall on the scabbard in battle and also to minimize the need for replacement scabbards. The sword is supplied with the grip and scabbard in a neutral-colored leather to allow customization to the owners taste.

The Milanese fencing master Guiseppe Radaelli, is credited with starting the development of this style, while Salvatore Pecoraro introduced changes and refinements which resulted in the technique finally adopted for sabre at the Military Masters School in Rome. The hilt designs developed by Radaelli and Pecoraro have been reproduced in our fencing sabers, with stainless steel guards and wire-wrapped sharkskin-pattern grips. The highcarbon flex-tempered steel blades closely follow the proportions of the period and are button-tipped for safety. The blade and hilt of the “Hutton” sabre are closer to the style of the true military sabre. Pecoraro Sabre SH2199 The Pecoraro Sabre features a full-cupped perforated guard, ridged for reinforcement at the thinner pommel end of the "D".
