When you think "messer," you should think of one name: Leckuchner. So of course, we have messers shaped just like the ones in his manuscript. A classic clipped point with straight lines, this is a good looking and feeling sword. This messer is designed specifically for left-handed fencers.

4 inches from cross point of balance

8 1/2 inches grip-able handle

2 inches to 1/2 inch blade width (cross to tip)

36 inches overall length

1 1/2 inch ring (nagel) height

If you could buy just one pair of swords for your club, this is the model we would recommend. Durable enough to be used for many years to come, these offer something that most training swords lack: BIND! The interlocking teeth on the edges of the blade ensure that they will stick when edge-to-edge, then slide appropriately when turned to flats. We have compared these to real sharp longswords, and the bind is strikingly similar.

Despite common concerns, there is little need to worry about the teeth increasing the risk of injury. While there is a higher chance of small scratches on uncovered skin, but we have found the Longsword Sharp Simulators to pose minimal increased risk among our students at South Coast Swords.

If you're a big fencer who wants a big sword, this is the one for you. The Longsword XL is appropriately scaled in the handle and blade to provide superior balance and flow. This sword may also substitute as a montante for smaller fighters.

Designed with the expert guidance of Roberto Martinez-Loyo of Elite Fencing Club, this macuahuitl trainer offers a realistic weight and balance without breaking the bank. The macuahuitl was typically a ripping and tearing weapon used for taking prisoners, and when you handle this and imagine the flint-lined edge, you'll understand why.

THE BIG ONE. This synthetic montante is the single largest item that we sell at South Coast Swords. The sword moves through the air with ease and is assembled with maximum durability in mind. Its mass makes it a great training tool for any fencer. Note that its size may increase shipping prices.

Blackfencer's Protective Caps were originally created to cover the ends of the old longsword cross guards. Since then, the cross has become thicker (and safer), and we've found that these make exceptional sword tips! Use them on everything from rapiers to feders (steel) for drilling and sparring.

Blackfencer's Sidesword is one of our best sellers. Fencers love the elegance of the design and the handling, as well as the protection offered by the knuckle bow and covered ricasso. Pair with a buckler for maximum Marozzo!
