The Cold Steel CS92BKS Medieval Training Sword delivers safe, realistic sword training with its durable polypropylene construction and authentic medieval design. This 32.25-inch training weapon allows martial artists and historical fencing enthusiasts to practice techniques without the risks associated with steel blades.
What Makes This Different
Unlike wooden training swords that splinter or foam weapons that lack realistic weight distribution, this polypropylene blade maintains consistent flex and impact resistance through thousands of training sessions. The material provides authentic sword dynamics while eliminating cutting edges that could cause injury during partner drills. Cold Steel's injection-molded construction ensures uniform density throughout the blade, creating predictable handling characteristics that mirror steel sword balance points.
Key Features
- 32.25-inch overall length with 25-inch blade for authentic medieval sword proportions

Training academies and HEMA (Historical European Martial Arts) schools rely on this sword for teaching proper cutting angles, thrusting techniques, and defensive maneuvers. The polypropylene material absorbs impact energy while providing sufficient feedback to develop proper edge alignment and timing. Students can practice complex combinations and flowing sequences without concern for blade damage or injury from accidental contact.
