The Long-Sword is a weapon that has a long double-edged blade and handle long enough for two hands. This larger weapon enabled fighters to make stronger cuts or powerful thrust against their opponent. These swords were in use as early as the 14th century. The length varied between 40" and 48", with 48" being a common length. Authentic steel weapons weigh from 2.5 to 3.5 lbs. (1.1 to 1.6kg)
This was a gift for my son that recently picked up long sword fencing. I really didn't know what to order and the website made it easy and my son loves it and can now go to training sessions and not have to borrow all the needed gear. Thank you

Excellent craftsmanship and customer service
I’ve been using Purpleheart Armoury as my go-to for my wooden training swords for years now! The quality of their products is wonderful (I love my Hickory with Jatoba Longswords) and the products arrive in a very timely manner. I needed a backup sword for an event last weekend, concerned that my current sword might take that final beating and shatter, but it was close enough to the deadline wher
I have purchased 2 of these now, the first lasted me 3 years, 560 fights and is still going. I thought to purchase the second prior to the first on failing. I'll be coming back for more.

Excellent Sword with one flaw (for me.)
I had a real issue with this sword. When it arrived, it was absolutely beautifully crafted. The problem was, this was a Christmas gift, and after it arrived, it pained me to give it away. I will have to buy myself one now too.
