Why the Shogun team finds this training sword special

What stood out to us is the thoughtful construction that mimics the weight and proportions of a real medieval sword. The textured handle feels comfortable in the hand and the matte black finish gives it a tough, professional appearance.

Materials and finish of this training sword

The sword is made entirely from heavy-duty polypropylene, an almost indestructible material that absorbs impact. With a total length of 110.49 cm and a blade length of 84.77 cm, it has the realistic dimensions of a historical broadsword. The spearpoint design and plain-edge finish provide an authentic look.

Grip, balance and presentation

With a weight of 0.725 kg, this sword feels surprisingly realistic without being too heavy for extended training. The balance is perfect for drills and kata. As a decorative piece, it stands impressively on a stand or on the wall, with the medieval design coming into its own.

Who is this training sword suitable for?

Perfect for HEMA practitioners, re-enactors, and anyone who wants to train sword techniques safely. Also suitable for theatre performers, cosplayers, or as a safe alternative in a collection of medieval replicas. The robust polypropylene makes it ideal for intensive use without risk of injury.

Maintenance and durability

This training sword requires minimal maintenance – simply wiping it down with a damp cloth is sufficient. The polypropylene is resistant to moisture, temperature fluctuations, and intensive use. The black finish remains attractive for years without special treatment.
