SWHZ-1020 Swordier HEMA Sparring Saber – Upgraded Guard Protection Lightweight Training Saber

The Swordier HEMA Sparring Saber (Upgraded Version) is a purpose-built training weapon developed from our proven SWHZ-1009 HEMA saber, refined through feedback from daily sparring and fencing practice.

This upgraded model features a wider protective guard, offering improved hand coverage during high-intensity exchanges while maintaining excellent mobility. Through structural optimization and updated heat treatment, the overall weight has been reduced from 850 g to 796 g, resulting in faster recovery, improved point control, and reduced fatigue during extended training sessions.

The blade is forged from 60Si2Mn spring steel, a high-performance alloy known for its outstanding resilience and fatigue resistance. Combined with an upgraded heat-treatment process applied to both blade and guard, this saber is engineered to withstand regular club training, drilling, and sparring when used with appropriate protective gear.

With a controlled flex rating of approximately 6 kg, the blade provides safe thrust compliance while retaining sufficient stiffness for realistic fencing actions. The handling closely reflects historical military sabers, making it suitable for HEMA saber fencing, military saber practice, and modern competitive sparring formats.

Designed for durability, balance, and safety, this upgraded Swordier HEMA saber is an ideal choice for practitioners seeking a lighter, faster, and more protective sparring weapon without compromising structural integrity.
