I-Beam Longsword Trainer
Designed by Angus Trim, the I-Beam Longsword Trainer uses a deep central fuller to provide thick, durable edges without making the sword excessively heavy. Its blunt 9260 spring-steel blade is engineered to resist edge damage during repeated steel-on-steel training.
The trainer includes a leather-covered wood-core scabbard and offers handling closer to a historical longsword than a conventional feder.
