This sword is designed specifically for the Italian sword arts of the 1500s as a practice version of the 'Sidesword' (Spada da Filo). The dimensions and balance are based on several of the surviving swords of the period. This combination has been tested extensively, resulting in a great item for those looking for a side sword trainer and sparring weapon.
