The Kvetun federschwert, or sometimes called longsword or feder, has become one the bestsellers from Kvetun Armoury for a good reason.

The HEMA sword is excellent for German longsword fencing due to its length but can also be used for the Italian school of fencing.

What is a federschwert?

A federschwert is a blunt, safe longsword trainer used to simulate longsword combat as realistic a possible. The idea of a federschwert is nothing new. It has been used during the medieval times as a practice weapon to train soldiers as well as nobles. However, it was also used for sport duels as we use them today but with a lot less protection.
