Synthetic Feder

I bought one last year and it saw weekly sparring use until a month in, where it broke during sparring. I did get a new one for free as per warranty, but I got steels before it arrived in the mail, so the replacement synthetic was used exclusively for drills and demonstration. Despite the light usage, it only saw 6 months before breaking in the spot as my first one, roughly a third from the way down from the tip of the blade.

It feels and handles great, but if you want something to last you, I'd suggest looking elsewhere.

Incredible balance and build quality!

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
