The Wooden Single Hand Sword is a traditional practice weapon crafted for safe and effective martial training. Measuring 38" overall with a 31" blade, this wooden waster captures the feel of a medieval arming sword, allowing practitioners to refine their form and control without risking injury or damaging real steel blades. Durable, affordable, and authentic, it’s ideal for students of historical fencing, reenactment, or stage combat.

The Legacy of the Wooden Waster

Long before modern fencing, medieval warriors trained with wooden swords known as “wasters.” These practice weapons allowed knights and soldiers to develop precision, timing, and strength while preserving their valuable combat swords for battle. This single-hand version follows that same tradition—balanced for one-handed use and shaped to mirror the proportions of a real arming sword—making it perfect for perfecting technique and drills.
