Two Handed

There isn't a more classic shape in our catalog than the Blackfencer Longsword. It's our second best-selling sword (after the Standard Federschwert), and for good reason. The swelled grip, pinned-through guard, and Blackfencer's specially selected nylon make this the best synthetic longsword you can buy!

Our #1 selling sword! This classic training shape and design of the Blackfencer Federschwert has been around for centuries. The synthetic blade has the same balance, flex, and weight as a thin steel blade. It is also highly durable, with almost no reported failures.

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.

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.
