Introducing the all-new MODEL 3, a refined smallsword design based on historical originals, stripped down to essentials for maximum agility and elegance.
This model features a minimalist open guard without a knuckle bow, giving it a sleek profile that echoes 18th-century civilian and dueling swords. It is equipped with a small guard shell, also historically inspired, offering minimal hand protection while keeping the overall weight and profile as light and responsive as possible.
The elongated grip provides excellent leverage and control, making it a favorite among fencers who value speed and precision.
Exceptionally lightweight, the MODEL 3 is best suited for:
• #3 épée blades (32.5 in / 825 mm)
• #5 foil blades
The hilt is made from stainless steel, providing a perfect balance of strength and durability, making it ideal for withstanding hard impacts during sparring. This makes the MODEL 3 an excellent choice for both entry-level and mid-level historical European martial arts (HEMA) fencers, offering reliability and performance for training and competitive use.
Whether you’re looking for a nimble training sword or a period-accurate weapon for historical fencing, the MODEL 3 offers both performance and authenticity—crafted with care by FEATHER SMALLSWORDS.
