Nice! Good to see a training sword that doesn't look like a floppy bar. Looking forward to see these in action. Cheers!

I love Ásfolk and I miss being a student there. Love to see this beautiful new Viking sword from Arms & Armor; makes me a proud Minnesotan to see stuff like that. It always brings me joy to see all the connections and in a sense, this tight community that is centered around Viking Martial Arts, and HEMA, etc. It’s nice to see all these familiar faces. Skol

$600 isn't bad at all for a good training sword. If Roland is recommending it them I'm sure it's worth every penny.

Nah man, hit up buhurt tech. Their stuff made for full contact armored combat. It’s amazing and affordable, and they have a lifetime guarantee on all their products. They’ll just replace it if you manage to break it. You can get an arming sword for significantly under $200. I’m a multiple time medalist in armored combat in the states, I get all my weapons from them.

@@carlfisk7518 if you manage to break a sword, it was either badly made, or your are not using it for the practice of historical swordsmanship. These trainers are designed for the latter, not for any eclectic modern combat swords that use swords like bats.

If the edge is less than 2.5mm it would be illegal to own in Denmark unless you have a permit for sharp weapons. I am guessing that other European countries have similar laws. Other than that, the swords look great.

Roland, does the pommel have a proper twist? It seems it might in one shot, but I didn't see it mentioned on the A&A page for it. Thanks!
@swordandshield3 жыл бұрын
It is possible to have your sword fitted with an offset pommel. You would have to tell the makers.

Truly impressive training swords there from Arms and Armour. If I was in the market for such a thing I would highly consider one. I enjoy these specific videos you have on replica or reproduction swords such as the I.33 sword from Lucas Maestle-Goer because you give a unique insight and perspective of what you think makes a good sword. Also, the link to Arms and Armour. www.arms-n-armor.com/collections/swords/products/viking-trainer

How would the thinner edges affect safety and acceptable force?
@jancello4 жыл бұрын
Thin edge and no flex, you'd better fence responsibly or that may not end well.
@swordandshield3 жыл бұрын
In swordsmanship, precision and control are paramount. I have never believed that a blunt edge or safety gear can make up for it. This being said, the closer a training tool is to a weapon, the more dangerous it becomes, naturally. Personally, I think that decent respect for the weapon and danger awareness help in training. But each school create their own training culture.

If you have $1200 to spare on set of _training_ swords you're going to wreck then I suggest you invest that $1200 and get started blacksmithing. In fact, for the price of ONE of those training swords you could get a second hand anvil, make a furnace, get some decent steel, and make twenty or so practice blades and be well on your way to learning how to craft fine weaponry. Take up the hammer. It's more rewarding than you'll ever know. And apparently financially rewarding too if you sell your products. I've given most of my best works away as heirloom birthday presents to friends and family. Not to mention if there's ever an economic collapse you'll have a trade worth more than gold.

Arms and Armour www.arms-n-armor.com/collections/swords/products/viking-trainer Learning to swordsmith will take a lot of dedication, time, effort, and money just for one sword. If he wants a training sword he should buy one. If he wants to learn to make swords he would be better doing what you suggested.

Is it assembled correctly, or is the peened pommel holding the rest together so it'll rattle once it's been banged about slightly?
Cool. Take my money! Oh wait there's no way to buy them yet. .__. So will they be sold in pairs? Will their price be comparable to a training sword or ridiculously overpriced? Edit: Holy shit, $600. Yeah nah I'll keep smithing my own swords thanks. That's NOT a training sword. Look at any other form of fencing training sword prices. Or even olympic competitor sword prices. They're far less than that. The upside is blacksmiths charging ridiculous prices (and 'cutlery' companies trying to cash in on stamped swords) have brought millions of us to the anvil. :)
