– The hilt is formed from PVC, which prevents it from cracking at the point of contact with the crossguard and pommel.
– The hilt is wrapped with high abrasion-resistant synthetic cord.
– A reliable screw on the pommel allows tightening the hilt if any play appears.
– The hilt is completely detachable with the ability to easily replace the blade
– Replacement blades are almost always in stock.
– The poulaine on the tip of the blade is neatly rolled, which prevents injuries even during heavy thrusts. Such a rolled poulaine will not fall off, unlike a welded one.

Replicas of training equipment from the High Middle Ages and Renaissance eras, gaining popularity nowadays, are a good compromise between realism and safety.
They are historically unsharpened. The blade is flexible, almost like a steel ruler, which allows minimizing potential damage to a partner during a thrust.
They have enhanced hand protection due to a significant expansion of the blade near the crossguard. As a result, they can be fenced with perhaps even in full contact, if the fencers are wearing light protective gear
