This is the new version of the Venesia Sidesword by Regenyei Armory and it has the most complex hilt of their Sidesword offerings paired with a double-fullered blade. It has a rolled (back folded) tip to make it safer for sparring and tournaments. The blade is the “Blunt and Flexible 8.5 kg” option for “casual free sparring and everyday usage”. The blunt edged blade is 51CrV4 Spring Steel with a tempered hardness of 49-51 HRc and it is quite thick at the ricasso with a substantial amount of distal taper to give it good overall weight, balance and handling characteristics. The hilt is made from steel with an antiqued finish and the blade is sturdily mounted into the hilt with a peen over the pommel for a lasting construction.
