All the weapons are handmade by our company. Their design, method of construction, dimensions and weight are optimised on the basis of many years of experience of their use in contact fencing. The risk of fracture or breaking off of part of the blade causing danger and injury is hereby minimised.
All our blades are made from high-grade spring steel type 14260.7; any further heat treatment causes changes in the weapon's utility characteristics. The cross-piece and head are made from steel of standard quality. The head is brazed to the blade (hard solder); the connection acts as a safety-catch against abnormal exertion of the weapon. Any interference in or change to these connections causes not only loss of guarantee but also reduces substantially the weapon's useful life. If a cross-piece starts moving we recommend tightening the connection using nylon line, cord, leather or similar materials. Stainless steel is not used anywhere in the weapon and thus it becomes important to preserve and protect it against damp conditions. If you follow these principles and recommendations you will minimise possible damage to the weapon and your own safety.
sincerely yours
Jiří Kronďák and Team
Some products mentioned here can be offered in two basic forms of final elaboration:
• TRAINING (standard) - good "fighting" qualities, but elaboration of details and surface processing at lower level. Weapons are good for training, for fighting performances on a further distance or just to emphasize the role of a common person - it means it is a roughly manufactured weapon.
• SHOW (deluxe) - weapon of the same "fighting" parameters, but the final elaborating is much better including both the looks and the historic closeness. These weapons are good for performances with a near contact with the audiences and, sure, will look really smart on the wall.
