Fencing sword from Nuremberg (Oakeshott classification is type XVIIIb), SK-A - battle ready.

This fencing sword and its sister sword Satzvey are the result of years of development by Volker Kunkel, head of the West-Coast-Institute, in cooperation and intensive exchange with various very active fencing groups like Zornhau, Stahl-auf-Stahl and other teachers.
Volker Kunkel has been teaching fencing and sword fighting to amateurs and advanced fencers for over twenty years and has brought his many years of experience to these sword developments.

This model is named after the Franconian city of Nuremberg, whose old town and castle still literally bring the Middle Ages to life.
The blade was made of spring steel, which was hardened in an oil bath and then tempered to approx. 50-52 HRC. The blade is about 5 mm thick at the center ridge and has a rounded, relatively wide point so that it can be used in tournaments.
The blade edges are about 2 - 2.5 mm thick. Besides the smith mark in the blade, the sword is also marked by the WCI stamp in the guard.
Each sword was handcrafted, yet the swords differ in weight, dimensions, guidance and contact behavior.

Armour Class is one of the most renowned sword manufacturers in Great Britain. Due to the time-consuming manual work the number of pieces is very limited. Waiting times of six months or longer are not uncommon. With us these swords are usually available. So there is no waiting time.

General warranty notice for swords
Our display weapons are subject to the legal warranty of two years like all other goods. However, it should be noted that the burden of proof of defects (eg material defects), which were already present at the time of purchase and have not been claimed within 6 months, lies with the customer. Complaints after 6 months are therefore often difficult and unfortunate for both sides. A show sword is by its very nature a wear and tear item. Even the best and most expensive show sword will become chipped after heavy use, the guard can become wobbly and the handle loose. This is normal, because strong forces act on the material. There may even be the unlikely case of these blades breaking when they are already weakened by quite a few and deep nicks. These are therefore usually not justified reasons for complaint but normal wear and tear. A used show sword shows signs of use after use.
