Conical pommel longsword for full contact fighting

Longsword with a conical pommel is based on late-medieval European references: grip layout and crossguard assembly follow historical analogs and are adapted for full contact use in protective gear.

The focus is practical safety and control in armor. The blade is unsharpened with a rounded tip to reduce incidental injury risk during dynamic exchanges, while the geometry supports reliable parries and stable blade tracking when changing range.

The conical pommel provides a clear stop for the rear hand, helping maintain grip position during clinch pressure and sudden pulls, and it tends to catch less on kit than more complex pommel shapes. The grip is designed for consistent hand placement without awkward wrist angles, supporting mobility and control during strike sequences.

Serviceability matters under heavy use: routine inspection of fittings, managing play, and post-training care improve durability and simplify standard repairs over time.

Suitable for training and tournament participation across multiple historical combat rule sets (buhurt/full contact and related formats). Final compliance depends on the specific event’s checks, since requirements may differ for dimensions, weight limits, edge thickness, and safe geometry.

• Use: full contact training, sparring in protective equipment
• Focus: safe geometry, grip control, handling, maintainability
• Historical basis: oriented to sources and historical European longsword analogs
