Synthetic Feder
Go to a HEMA event anywhere in the world, and you will see one of these. There's a reason: They are simply the best synthetic feders that money can buy. They are exceptionally durable, safe to thrust with, and handle like a good sword should. This is by far our #1 selling item, and we always have more of them on order.

Where do I start?
This is my first blade purchase of any sort, and it blew me away straight out of the box. It's weighted well, has appropriate flex so I don't accidentally impale my brother, as well as being rounded at the tip. The blade itself is hefty and sturdy, and it's held up in perfect condition for just over a year now. The metal cross guard and pommel do need to be oiled and polished every now and then or they'll start to oxidize and get spots on them, but you should have to more than once every couple months or so. That's all described on a slip you get with the sword though.
All in all, it performs well, not too heavy, not too light, extremely sturdy and well made, and very pretty for a synthetic sword, aside from a couple machining marks on the cross guard.
I am new to HEMA and needed something to practice with. This trainer is well balanced, easy to work with and pretty cool looking too. Well worth the price and it allows me to practice without a bigger investment of cash
I'm going to be buying more merchandise from this site, I think. Maybe a sidesword next
Synthetic Feder
Love it. The color of the wrap is nice too.
Great synthetic Feder right here. The only thing I see as being "off" is the grind-work on the synthetic blade itself. Its definitely not even and makes the blade look bent if one looks down the blade along the edge, that is, with the edge facing up. Other than that it handles well and feels good in the stroke. The grind-work is an issue with Black Fencer, I would assume.
