I-beam Longsword Trainer - Atrim Design by Kingston Arms

This innovative longsword trainer features a unique I-beam blade profile, which allows for thicker, safer edges while maintaining excellent balance and responsiveness. The 9260 spring steel blade is designed to withstand the rigors of intense HEMA training and sparring sessions, making it an ideal choice for both beginners and experienced practitioners.

Renowned swordsmith Angus Trim developed the I-beam design to address two common issues in HEMA training swords: tapered blunts with thin edges that wore down quickly, and thick blunts that handled poorly. This design was initially produced by Valiant Armoury and has now been revived by Kingston Arms, bringing this popular trainer back to the HEMA community.
