Short Sword - Hickory SS2

This is my second waster, the first being the two hander I purchased circa 2003. In comparison, the cross guard is a bit larger and the blade feels a bit beefier. I also wish that the new one came with the Purpleheart Armory logo burned into it, as did the first. These differences are minor. Love the new sword. Would recommend anyone to get your hands on one—you won’t find better.

Well made, straight grain and sturdy. Will make a good training tool

Great one-handed sword, good for practicing I.33

Wonderful sword team. Works great with many gloves, solid strike feedback, grip shape is pleasing, lovely styling and finish. Great when paired with great be of their wood long swords. Grab a buckler and have some fun. Great price and service as usual.

Have had one for 8 years, has taken me though multiple reenactment organizations through sparring demos, rough use by kids, and "throwing demo" by a fellow reenactor. Came though with nary a dent.
