One-handed 90 cm sword for buhurt full contact
One-handed sword for buhurt/full contact and other modern medieval combat formats. The dimensions and balance are tuned for contact fencing in protective gear: 90 cm overall length, 1.5 kg weight, balance point 15 cm from the guard. This setup supports tempo in combinations and keeps wrist load predictable on blade-to-blade impacts.
The blade is unsharpened and the tip is rounded to reduce cut and puncture risks in contact. A straight guard helps protect the hand from sliding strikes and incidental contact, while the spherical pommel adds grip support and aids control during clinch and direction changes.
Manufacturing is based on historical sources and period analogs of European arming swords, with geometry adapted for safe modern use. The product is stated as sporting equipment and is not intended as a bladed weapon.
Stated weight and balance are aligned with common rulesets (e.g., WMCF). Event approval always depends on the current regulations and the organiser’s technical check.
Use & maintenance: wipe and oil the steel after training, keep edges free from burrs, and periodically check the grip and guard integrity. Minor dents/burrs can be dressed with filing and sanding to maintain safety and service life.
