Deepeeka has primarily made a name for itself in the past with its beautiful Classical helmets. In addition, this Indian manufacturer produces (early) medieval semi-sharp and battle-ready swords. The swords are a mix of historical accuracy and user-friendliness. They are more than worth their money. The swords come with a luxurious, handmade scabbard.

Always measure your writing hand. Gently cup your hand and measure around the knuckles with the measuring tape. 19-22 cm: glove size 7. 22-24 cm: glove size 8. 24-27 cm: glove size 9. 27-30 cm: glove size 10.

Plate armor, such as cuirasses, leg armor, arm harness, or gauntlets, offers increased protection against impacts during mock battles. Ensure that you always wear sufficient padding under plate armor, for example in the form of a gambeson.

Plate armor is considered battle-ready at a steel thickness of at least 1.6 mm.

The swords of the third class Basic are primarily made for decoration, although this does not mean they are not functional for basic activities. They have an untempered blade that runs through the entire grip and a hardness of up to 48 HRC. The pommel is screwed onto the end of the grip, making the swords less suitable for receiving regular blows. These swords are not optimally balanced and can sometimes feel heavy in the hand. The quality is lower than in classes Medium and High.

If sharp, the sword is functional but not suitable for regular use or cutting tests. If blunt (battle-ready), it is equipped with a rounded tip. It is then safe against injuries and ideal to wear at festivals, although it is only suitable for occasional sparring.

• Hardness of the blade: under 48 HRC.
• The blade runs fully through to the grip and the pommel is screwed onto the blade.
• Sometimes heavy and not optimally balanced.

The swords of the second class Medium are manufactured from high-quality, untempered steel types with a hardness between 48–52 HRC. They are less well-balanced than swords of class High. If sharp, they are well-suited for cutting tests. If blunt (battle-ready), these swords are suitable for regular use in HEMA and reenactment. The battle-ready variant is equipped with a rounded tip and has a blade thickness of 2–3 mm.

Note: even swords of this class wear down. The formation of burrs is a normal form of wear. Always check your weapon for burrs before use and remove them if necessary.

• Blade hardness: minimum 48-52 HRC
• Blade runs fully through the grip.
• Pommel is riveted to the blade or soldered.
• Easy to handle but slightly less balanced than class ‘high’.
