This sword is made by Wyvern Crafts in Germany. We recommend it for senior players who like the historical appearance of their weapons. It grips well, is accurate, well-balanced and is constructed such that the core ensures that you're not swinging a spring around. Wyvern also makes a fitted scabbard in hard leather with a swordbelt. The sword is recommended for players of 15 years or older, but is safe enough to use against younger players.

In the video review below, you'll see both the old and the new models get damaged during testing with very hard hits. As a lot of the work in the hilt itself, Wyvern offers a service where you can get the blade replaced.
