I might suggest a Kvetun Easton Mk. 3 Saber. It's a military style saber with a much beefier blade, a lot better for doing mixed weapons stuff. I used one in the Open Steel event at IceBreaker 2022 and it stood up well to shields and longswords.

As a former saber as well (not olympic) I would also like to add that we do not use full swings like that on a sword that parries. The olympic sabers are made for contact mostly and do not account for heavy parries. A saber that is more akin to a polish saber will probably be better for a real sword fight.

I believe the saber was Darkwood's Italian Dueling saber. It's a fine weapon as far as it goes, but it's a light-bladed saber designed for dueling against a similar-style weapon. it's not meant for any kind of heavy combat against even other style sabers like the polish military saber. They have a heavier, more military grade blade available that would be far more appropriate. Castille has several saber models available as well, which I personally have used very often against longswords for years, and they stand up very well.

British or Polish military sabre should be able to fare better, I think. That type of sword, if I remember right, is more so for duels rather than battlefields, a more fitting sword would be one of the battlefield sabres, especially cavalry sabres, those things can be tough.
@18ps3anos
Жыл бұрын
Yeah, but a cavalry sabre wouldn't be safe for sparring unless the user has loads of control. Certainly, any military sabre would be better than a duelist sabre, but I think either the weapon took a beating previous to this or it had a construction defect. The sabre broke on its own cut against a static parry.

There doesn't seem to be any agreement or even knowledge of H.E.M.A broadswords or a true Eastern Europe Saber ! Im in shock because i came to learn the Rapier but most have no idea of it ? What country 🇪🇸 yes Spain and cannot find fencing or even reasonable equipment . As for this video 🤔 what a shocker !! Katana wins again 💪 As much as i adore Tàijíquán and the Jian 🗡️ my experience with the Katana or multiple katanas x2/x4 will always hold the Katana design as the most useful.
