Sharpness of weapons

We sell swords, axes and other weapons for various applications and purposes. Therefore, the sharpness per weapon varies depending on the intended use.

We have sharp, semi-sharp, and battle-ready (blunt) weapons in our collection. Details about the sharpness of weapons can be found in the product description.

Sharp weapons have both a sharp edge and a sharp tip. They can cut and thrust, which means they must be handled with care. This also means they are not intended for use in training, live combat, or to be brought to (most) festivals. They are primarily meant for decoration or cutting tests.

It is possible to make these weapons somewhat blunt, but not fully battle-ready.

The edge of a semi-sharp weapon has a thickness of about 1 mm and a tapered point. These weapons are not sharp enough to cut easily. The tip is also blunt, yet still pointed, which means these weapons can still cause some damage when used in live combat.

An advantage of semi-sharp weapons is that they can be both sharpened and blunted without needing to remove too much of the weapon.

A battle-ready weapon has an even blunter edge than a semi-sharp sword. Their edges have a thickness of about 3 mm. The tip of a battle-ready weapon is completely rounded, making it impossible to stab with. A battle-ready weapon is safe to use in live combat and training, but you should check how durable a weapon is if you plan to use it intensively. Not all battle-ready weapons are made to be used as training weapons. More information on the durability of a weapon, such as the hardness of the steel, can be found in the product description.
