ENSIS II

ENSIS II a new version of training sword dedicated to those who pursued art of medieval swordmanship

Sword Features:
 
1. All features closely mirror those of a sharp blade, but the Point of Balance (PoB) is slightly closer—approximately 10 cm from the guard. Other key attributes, including the Forward Pivot Point (FPP), Aft Pivot Point (APP), and Vibration Nodes, align with those of an authentic blades. This alignment is particularly significant for recreating medieval sword fencing techniques, especially in the bind. Unlike lighter and narrow blades with a closer PoB, this sword maintains contact more effectively, facilitating longer engagements with the opponent’s weapon.
 
2. This wide sword blade aids in aligning cuts, guards, and winding actions It boasts a 4mm to 3mm edge, enhancing safety and resilience for training purposes.
 
3. Despite its flex rating of 15/16 kg, it bends more easily and causes less discomfort when receiving thrusts to the chest without protective equipment compared to a standard (~15kg) feder. This minor discovery is intriguing, and we plan to create a short video about it.
 
4. The sword generates a loud sword wind (swoosh), allowing you to practice “sword wind” techniques in every cut or combination and all solo exercises for test cutting.
 
5. Altogether, you receive a fencing tool that is safe for sparring, closely resembling a sharp blade (with only the PoB closer to the hilt, but it does not hinder the “sword wind” effect like poorly balanced objects).
 
6. It is genuinely hand-forged from the finest polish spring steel, not flat-ground or cut from thin sheet metal like many HEMA makers do.
 
7. You can use it for demonstrations; it looks, moves and sound far superior to any feder.
