Club Sport Federschwert - HEMA Sparring Longsword
The Kingston Arms Sport Feder is an answer to the clubs, beginners and even seasoned practitioners that want a light, fast, safe and affordable sparring sword for HEMA longsword sparring. This federschwert was designed to be safe in the thrust by flexing in the last third of the blade while keeping the rest of the sword stiff in the bind. The tip is slightly flared in thickness as well and can be used as it is with proper equipment or fitted with a leather mask or plastic tip for an added degree of safety.
Other features include a ramped thumb guard, allowing easy placement of a gloved thumb onto and off the blade during guard transitions. The pommel is indexed to the flat of the blade, making it second nature to distinguish proper edge alignment with the rearward hand. The wood core grip is in a well rounded rectangular cross section and tightly bound with an overwrap of cord to provide a firm grip.

9260 Spring Steel Blade
Light, Fast and Safe Design

The sword was inexpensive and arrived fast, but isn't accepted by most tournaments, the crossguard is not secured well, and the chord wrapping is already coming undone. A great sword if you need one in a pinch just for your local club, but not much else beyond that.
Thanks Daniel for this information. I will share this information with Kingston Arms. So for tournaments customers may want to look at this Federschwert. https://kingdomofarms.com/products/federschwert-fencing-long-sword-by-kingston-arms
I think this is a great piece that I’ve begun practicing with, love the weight and the comfortability with the handle, especially.
My son could not contain his excitement opening this for his birthday! It's a well made product and had record shipping time (it was here under 5 days after purchase). I would definitely recommend this piece to any HEMA enthusiasts.
