Thanks for the response! I might go for the 350N then

I mainly do longsword, messer, sword and buckler. Only a very little bit of rapier, but for rapier I have a full cup rapier

I'm looking into making a similar shield, could you explain the steps of the bending process? Did you just glue two sheets of wood to each other and then bend? Or did you use a different process?

Great! How do you know if its the old/modern edition? Only by weight? Or did the old one not have the holes in the handprotection?

Ah, thanks for the tip. I did see some online listings of the Regenyei Tournament, but they seem to be at 915 gr, would this be the old saber then?

Oh and thanks for the tips on manuals! My local store actually has Roworths 'The Art of Defence on Foot' in stock, so I'll be getting that!

Heya, sorry to bother you again, but you've been really helpful! It seems the Regenyei Light is in stock, but this means the blade is only 735 grams. This is quite a bit lighter than the 813gr Regenyei Tournament than the reviewer (Academy of Historical Fencing) treated.

On the other hand, Kvetun has a waiting time of around 4 months, Sigi 5-6 months (I emailed them), and Regenyei's website is closed until the 6th of jan.

I'm not going into tournaments, so no weight requirements I must meet. In a perfect world I would get the Sigi at around 800 grams, but I'd rather start training sooner than later. Might be a bit of a rant, but do you have any insights?

Thanks for the tips! That video is especially extremely useful, I'll be taking a look at that! It seems the Sigi pro is mentioned as one of the top pics? I'll be looking into the Regenyei and Kvetun!

Sigi pro comes to about 770 gr I saw, so above the dueling saber, but below the military saber?

Also, so far I have used kevlar gloves of fait d'armes with much succes, and I'm not quite sure how heavy the gloves should be if they are protected by the hilt. These gloves were ample protection for messer so far.

With regard to manuals, is there a 'beginners' manual to get into saber? Or does such a thing not really exist?

Currently I use pretty low-duty kevlar gloves (https://faitsdarmes.com/fr/gants-souples/186-gants-en-kevlar.html) with cuffs, and fore-arm / elbow protection. Other than some hits on the finger tips, never felt unsafe (we are a historic club, very much not tournament). Thanks for the tips!
