Just a slight correction, feders typcially are the same weight as actual long swords, but the balance is pulled back closer to guard compared to real blades. The prevailing thought on why this is was so the blade doesn't hit with as much force as a real one would. :)

8:40 nope. If you buy anything, buy protection. Before you buy a sword always get full protection. Feders for tourneys are easy to borrow. Protection is much more specialised.

Go for cratsmen. Always. The only good productionline swords imo are Albions. Best feders are those from Jan "Ensifer". Regenyei are widely used and good aswell of course :) New subscriber btw. ^^

albions for the money are good and probably the best production level wise but still dont always quite make me feel like they are worth it. for the price of some of their pieces customs become an option and on a few examples ive seen the dimensions were pretty far off the blades werent fully sharpened and the gaps couldve been smaller, overall though they have the best whole package.

Can you please tell me about heat treatment and thickness of the blade where it bends? The thing is, i'm forging a feder for myself, and i don't want to make some devastating mistake when it is almost completed

Here's an overview of the feders and their prices at Péter's website, in English: www.regenyei.com/en_feders_standard.php The one being reviewed is the first one, it retails for some 200 euros. He also made custom versions for the Trnava swordfighting fellowship: www.regenyei.com/en_feders_trnava.php

How is it compared to the blunt longsword made by Albion? Would you give the Albion a 5/5 ? If if you do, how is the Albion better than the Regeney feder?
@medievalreview

+WarBerGeN I plan on reviewing the Albion Liechtenauer blunt longsword at some point. I doubt I'd give it a 5/5, mostly that has to do with it's purpose. From a construction standpoint it it top of the line, as with every Albion, but it has a big draw back and that has to do with it not being accepted at many tournaments. So while it is a fantastic sword, it usability is diminished.

+Medieval Review awesome review! would you ever review or consider the Albion Meyer? I was thinking of the Regenyei mostly because of the price and how quick I'd receive it but most of the guys in my group use the Meyer by Albion so the whole matching swords plays a part. I've used the Meyer and it's just an absolute beauty. You can feel it come alive in the hand!
@medievalreview
8 жыл бұрын
The Mayer and the Liechtenauer are fairly similar in construction, I don't have a Meyer, so I can't really review it, but I'd say they are going to be more or less equal to the standard blunt longsword. One thing that is slowly changing, but still a concern for some people, is that Albion blunts are not always accepted at HEMA tournaments. The Regenyei is almost universally accepted.

What are the properties that make this fader fulfill the requirements of tournaments?
@medievalreview
6 жыл бұрын
Primarily these features make it acceptable for most tournament: - Proper thickness on the edge - lower effective mass at the CoP - Solid construction, making it sturdy and less likely to break easily. - flexibly upper third of blade for safety in thrust - Easy to be "tipped" for tournament (which actually makes this not tournament ready "out of the box") While it is possible for a feder to meet these requirements and still not be default acceptable for a tournament, these feders have reliably shown that they can meet them, and thus are often accepted for tournament use.
