Synthetic Sparring Longsword - Black Blade with Red Hilt

The featured sword boasts the following characteristics: a black blade, a red guard, a black handle, and a red pommel. The blades are designed to flex in the last one-third of their length towards the tip, which allows for much safer thrusting compared to conventional wooden wasters or shinai. The blade/tang joint is reinforced by a high tensile steel rod running along the full length of the handle, eliminating the typical flex associated with plastic training swords.

These synthetic-bladed swords also offer an excellent option for theatrical use, as they are inherently safer than steel or aluminum. The variety of interchangeable parts offered by Red Dragon provides an economical means to create many different styles of swords on a single blade. The ball-shaped quillon finials and rounded pommels of the longsword and single-hand sword are designed for sparring safety, as are the pommel and basket of the basket-hilt sword.

The grips are manufactured from a rubber-like thermoplastic elastomer, engineered to absorb the impact of strikes and to provide a tight fit on the tangs. These synthetic-bladed swords also provide an excellent option for theatrical use.
