Raven Studios    Training Swords -  European (Medieval / Renaissance) Wasters 5 New items recently added... check them out below!   Raven Studios training swords are designed to withstand the rigors of free-sparring. I feel it is important that each waster mimic a real swords performance and feel as closely as possible, therefore these hardwood wasters are constructed with the following qualities: Patterned after real swords. I strive to maintain historical accuracy. The blades are made from Hickory. Information about hardwood  The blades (unless otherwise noted) have a diamond shaped cross section for strength and performance, and the edges are rounded for durability. (see drawing below) The blades are made with a distal and profile taper to help maintain proper balance and feel. The blades are made with a ricasso for added strength and balance. The guards are locked into the blades and can not slide or loosen. The blades have a full tang and the handles are constructed with laminated hardwood slabs. The handle is oval shaped for maximum comfort and control of the sword. The hilt is made from your choice of Hickory, Jatoba, or Purple Heart. Finished with a linseed and tung oil blend which penetrates into the wood to create a tough and durable surface.   Wasters Quillon Dagger Rondel Dagger Short-Sword Arming-Sword Long-Sword New Pommel Great-Sword New Pommel Grosse-messer New Kriegsmesser New Falchion New War Hammer New Halberd New  Custom Wasters If you would like one of the standard swords (seen below) with your own special specifications; hilt design, blade thickness or taper, point of balance etc., or you'd like a type of sword not found in this catalog, supply a written description with photos or drawings and I'll let you know if it's something I can do for you.
