FENCING
Dueling with sword and dagger was only one of many forms of fencing that developed as civilian wear of swords made duels between unarmored opponents in non-military situations more common. By the turn of the sixteenth century, Italian fencing masters were renowned throughout Europe, and during the course of the century, as instruction in the art of fencing became a required part of a young nobleman's education, every self-respecting court in Europe sought the services of an Italian fencing master. It was not unusual for a young gentleman to travel to Italy to receive instruction.

The fencing foils we have on site are all
certified "fully functional" ie. they are
manufactured where the hilt and blade components
together are manufactured to 'battle ready"
standards. They are true historical replicas. The
foils we stock are "blunted" ie. not sharpened.
For all official FIE ( Federation Internationale
d'Escrime ) competitions , and most other high
level competitions , FIE-certified blades that
have the FIE logo stamped at the base of the
blade, along with the code letters for the forge
that produced the blade (caveat emptor: some
disreputable forges have been known to falsify
these marks) are mandatory. The factory does not
produce FIE blades , as it emphasizes production
on true historical replica blades rather than
modern swords or electric swords - used in
competition for scoring.
So if you are looking for a FIE certified or
electric practice sword , you have to go to the
sites that deal with this type of item.
