I purchased 3 swords, two broke in our first session. The session couldn’t be considered sparring as we were just practicing guards. The participants who broke the swords were children. I’ve seen videos of these swords in full contact sparring. I can imagine that they are the same items.

Did not know this was a Rawling sword. Wouldn't have bought it if I had known. Rawling swords have notoriously flexible blades, and aren't useful for anything more than drills and extremely light sparring. I was thrown off by the title, it didn't have Rawling in it so I wan't expecting it to be the one brand I should stay away from.

I read the negative review from guy that apparently didn't read the listing or know how to return an item when 'not as described'. We have a number of these in use in local HEMA groups for sparring and steel fighting. The only negative I'v ever heard about these is that the blades don't bind like steel. They are relatively safe, semi-flexible in last third of blade, and virtually indestructible. Good solid training weapons. Highly recommended.
