Italian Foil with a Standard Parkerized Grip and Pommel                                                

 

This is our most popular model.  The parkerized grip provides unparalleled feel and finish and the matching pommel accents the hardwood grip elegantly.  The best part is that the feel of the weapon is just as good as the looks.  This weapon is easily electrified for tournament use and will meet the FIE requirements.  The parkerized finish is nonconductive.  Please indicate where you want your weapon to balance on the blade with respect to the guard.  Also indicate what size blade you would desire.  Blades have a range of lengths form 30 to 35 inches.  Remember that when we build the weapon to your specifications we reserve the right to use a larger or smaller pommel as is necessary to achieve the desired balance.  When balanced properly this is a very lively weapon.

Italian Foil with Extended Quillions a Standard Parkerized Grip and Pommel            

 

For those that have asked us what our weapons with the extended quillions look like here is your answer.  We took our popular Italian foil with standard parkerized grip and extended the quillions out to make them functional.  The quillions can be extended beyond the guard as much or as little as you want.  We recommend that they extend no more than 2 cm beyond the guard other wise they get in the way.  Indicate where you want your weapon to balance on the blade with respect to the guard.  Also indicate what size blade you would desire.  Blades have a range of lengths form 30 to 35 inches.  Remember that when we build the weapon to your specifications we reserve the right to use a larger or smaller pommel as is necessary to achieve the desired balance.

This version of our standard grip features a polished steel finish that is quite stunning and will certainly get noticed.  It still features an elegant hardwood handle and is capped off with a polished pommel.  Keep a little oil on it to prevent rust and this will last you for many years of service.  As always, please indicate where you want your weapon to balance on the blade with respect to the guard.  Also indicate what size blade you would desire.  Blades have a range of lengths form 30 to 35 inches.  Remember that when we build the weapon to your specifications we reserve the right to use a larger or smaller pommel as is necessary to achieve the desired balance.  When balanced properly this is a very lively weapon.

 

NOTE:  While we do offer an electric version of this weapon we do not recommend its use for tournaments.  The polished surfaces easily conduct and would register touches.

Italian Dueling Sword                                              ______________                                    

 

We have had a lot of requests for a dueling sword using our architecture as a starting point.  We extended the quillions and mounted an epee blade.  This gives us a light weapon that can take the punishment of regular practice with ease while still being inexpensive.  It features the same architecture as our other products including the parkerized finish.  When balanced correctly the weapon has a very lively feel to it.  A 35 inch French epee blade is used on this weapon.  Again please specify the balance point.  Keep in mind the pommel size will very to match the balance point specified by the fencer.

Italian Dueling Sword with Carbon Steel Guard                                                                  

I recently found a supplier that carried these beautiful guards in stock and we made several pieces for people using them.  The results were so stunning and the feed back so positive that we felt compelled to offer them to everyone.  The basic features are a carbon steel guard with a brushed finish that lends a beautiful balance and feel to the weapon, a paduk hardwood grip, and a deep custom leather pad specifically molded for your weapon.  After that the options are wide open.  If you want to use our architecture that features a false ricasso like the one pictured above then we would be happy to do that.  We can also build furniture for blades with true ricassos by attaching the guards to the arches.  We use two bolts on each arch to secure the guard so this way you get a solid hilt that can be disassembled.  Please contact us as that pricing is really dependent on the type of blade you want.  The balance will be more toward the tip because the blades are heavier than a typical sport epee blade and because this weapon is designed to closely replicate a sword.  It is highly recommended that you use a wrist strap with this weapon as that it helps the handling by taking some of the weight off the fingers.  Of course all the steel parts, including the guard, can be parkerized.
