Practical Norman Sword
Looking for a broadsword you can really use for stage combat or any full contact sparring? Made by Chen Chao-po (known in the U.S. as Paul Chen), this broadsword is made of tempered, high carbon steel. The sword has a fuller on both sides of the blade and rounded tips. The handle is leather-wrapped wood and the sword come with a wooden scabbard.
Norman sword: overall length 36.5 inches, blade length 30 inches
Unlike some blades on the market, this one is specially designed for sparring or the blade on blade contact needed in stage combat. The edge is not tapered to a thin cross section (necessary if you want to sharpen a blade); but rather, the edge is about 1/16 inch thick along the whole length. This allows for repeated edge to edge contact without the blade notching up terribly. (If you fight with blades, you know what we mean).
