NOW AVAILABLE!! GENERATION 2 SWORDS!
Swords designed for the Steel-to-Steel SM Challange!
Battle-ready swords are made of 3/16" high carbon spring steel with a full hefty tang. The pommels and cross guards are made from polished solid steel or brass. These swords have been thoroughly tested and have passed the rigorous 2"x4" test and actual steel to steel test. And feature the high quality fit and finish that has been known for all Generation2 swords. All tangs are a continuation of the blade that runs completely through the handle and connects to the pommel (not the thin rod used in most all swords). Although they are historically correct in appearance, specifications were set to produce a sword that could withstand the riggers of steel to steel and not produce a failure. The first test was on several 2"x 4"s standing up and split them with no marring on the blade.  The second test was on a 2"x 4" cross ways resting on a solid rest and striking straight down.  It did not cut all the way through, but it did cut deep and again did not mar the blade or edge.  Then the ultimate test was Steel-to-Steel *, with 9 good blows. These tests resulted in NO  breakage or looseness developing in the blade, tang, or handle of the swords. Battle-ready swords are made of 3/16" high carbon spring steel with a full hefty tang. The pommels and cross guards are made from polished solid steel or brass.
