The 6 Best old fencing Swords (2023 reviews)

This sword is certainly sturdy enough to be considered functional rather than just decorational. It is a real sword, heavy, sharp, made very well. The construction of the sword is pretty solid. The blade tip is adequate for thrusting even without filing the sides. The finish on the blade is subtle enough but can be easily removed with some time and effort. There is a good weight to it and the blade doesn't flex and wobble if you do a windmill strike with it.

These swords are sharp enough out of the box to cut through a decent amount, and are extremely durable. The sword is certainly sturdy enough to be considered functional rather than just decorational.

The bladesusa old fencing sword is exactly that - it's a simple sword that hits all the right notes. If you are looking for something that LOOKS good, then this is going to work for you.

It is not sharp at all, and the sword is flexible, but it would still potentially hurt as much as being poked with a broom handle.

The square hand guard is removable. It’s surprisingly really light. It is closer to a hand and a half or one hand sword, but for training on a budget does alright. The swords are cool and durable.

Best For Civil War fans: turkey Creek Trading old fencing Sword

Buy on Amazon

The turkey creek trading old fencing sword might be a relatively new release, but it's still nothing short of impressive this year. This is much better than a sword. It is good for sword enthusiasts or civil war fans. The thin coating of machine oil on the entire sword keeps it rust free. The blade ends in a threaded, flat bolt, and a nut cap holds the handle on. The hilt is metal, wrapped in faux leather with a light metal decorative wire wrapping. The blade is partially sharpened, so there isn't too much worry about cuts.

This is a well made replica and a bit of weight to it. It has really weird bends in it.
