Kingston Arms European Swords, which is a premium line of classic European medieval arms and armor from one of the world’s leading manufacturers and distributors of fine cutlery, CAS Iberia presents Kingston Arms Functional (Battle Ready), Swords designed by Angus Trim (Atrim); historical, reliable, durable and authentic reproductions of history’s finest pieces. Several series are planned from the currently available Tourney series of blunt reenactment and stage swords to several sharp reproduction swords including several made and/or designed by noted sword maker Gus Trim (Atrim). We also have several swords in the works developed specifically for HEMA practitioners, both sparring federschwerts and sharp cutting swords.

Gus Trim made swords

Angus (Gus) Trim has agreed to produce a handful of his exceptional swords for us. Based out of Washington state Gus has created a reputation over many years as a leading performance sword maker. Being one of the first makers to adopt the notion of harmonic balance in sword design his swords have an unusual quality that must be held to be appreciated. These swords are available in limited quantity. And we at Kingdom of Arms think very highly of Angus Trim.

 Atrim Design

In addition to making several sword models for us, Gus has designed even more for us to produce overseas. Our goal was simple: to provide 90% of the performance of an Atrim original at 1/3 the cost. Getting there wasn't so simple... but after several rounds of prototypes and a botched first run our first approved swords are on the way! Now that we know the forge can pull it off we have several more designs in the works as well.

These swords offer the best performance of any production sword currently available.
