Synthetic Sparring Longsword – Black Blade & Red Hilt

The synthetic blades are specifically engineered to flex in the last one-third towards the tip, ensuring safer thrusting compared to traditional wooden wasters or shinai. To enhance durability, the blade/tang joint incorporates a high tensile steel rod along the full handle length, eliminating the typical handle flex found in plastic training swords. 

These synthetic-bladed swords are ideal for theatrical applications, as they offer inherent safety advantages over steel or aluminum. Red Dragon's range of interchangeable parts allows for cost-effective customization, enabling the creation of various sword styles using a single blade. The sparring-oriented design features ball-shaped quillon finials and rounded pommels for enhanced safety, while the rubber-like thermoplastic elastomer grips absorb strikes and provide a secure fit on the tangs. 

With their versatility, these synthetic-bladed swords are also well-suited for theatrical performances.
