HEMA Sparring Longsword Built for Speed, Control and the Bind

The Kingston Arms Sport Feder is a HEMA sparring longsword developed for clubs, newer students and experienced practitioners looking for a responsive federschwert at an approachable price. Its light and quick handling makes it well suited to regular training, while the blade is engineered to combine flexibility in the thrust with the stiffness needed for controlled work in the bind. The result is a purpose-driven training sword designed around the demands of modern longsword practice.

The federschwert, often shortened simply to feder, takes its inspiration from specialised training swords associated with historical German fencing traditions. These practice swords allowed fencers to study longsword techniques with a blade better suited to repeated training than a sharpened sword. Modern HEMA feders continue that principle, combining historical handling concepts with construction suited to contemporary protective equipment and organised sparring.

The Sport Feder uses a 9260 spring steel blade designed to flex primarily through the final third during thrusts while remaining comparatively stiff through the rest of the blade for dependable feedback during binds and blade contact. The slightly thickened and flared tip can be used with appropriate HEMA protective equipment or fitted with an additional leather or plastic tip where club rules require it.

Small handling details make this Kingston Arms feder particularly useful during technical training. A ramped thumb guard helps a gloved thumb move onto and away from the blade during changing guards, while the indexed pommel aligns with the blade flat so the rear hand can help identify edge orientation naturally. The wood core grip has a rounded rectangular profile with a tightly bound cord wrap, creating a secure and familiar feel during drills and sparring. At 51 1/2 inches overall and weighing approximately 3 pounds 1 ounce, the Kingston Arms Sport Feder offers HEMA practitioners a practical combination of speed, control and durability for regular longsword training.

"Could not ask for a better customer experience. Feder is exactly as described, shipping was fast, and customer service was above and beyond."

"This is a great training & sparring sword, and it was well packaged and even oiled when I picked it up. It was well worth the drive from Kingston, ON. If Reliks starts selling full protective gear for sparring, I will make the drive again!"

"Well managed to get a couple of practices with it outdoors before the cold and snow made that too uncomfortable ( Written December 25, 2021 ). It really like it as well as my longsword training partner since I purchased the Feder in pairs to be able to practice using the same training tool. Now, this is a well made Feder, solid in every way, no loose guard or squeaky noises coming from the handle. For a Feder is it rather robust as it's the Stage Version of the Feder, so the blade is fairly stiff and very similar to a training blunt like my Albion one: I mention this as the other Feder on your site is the one with a lighter much more flexible blade that may be safer for thrusts. With this Feder one must either use a lot of control avoiding actual body hits when training or friendly duelling, or one must use protective gear if one wants full contact duelling, but any " Sane " practitioners will still pull their hits even in competitive duels for the sake of safety. But bottom line it's a very attractive Feder with great handling and balance, the thick edges are very rounded and in light contact so far have shown no tendency to take damage. Oh, the tip/points had slight burrs or too squarish corners left over from machining or grinding, this was easily fixed with a bit of stoning to round out the flats of the rounded points"

"This is a fantastic entry level sword for HEMA. It is light, manoeuvrable and well constructed. The only drawback this sword has is the wrap on the handle will come off eventually, but it's easy to use hockey tape or leather or fabric to cover it up again. If you're getting into HEMA longsword and you are on a budget, this is a great start. "
