Paul Chen's Sidesword

The side sword (literally translated from Italian spada da lato ) was a military sword of the Renaissance (16th/17th century) that also became very popular among the civilian population due to its relatively low weight and agility. Unlike the rapier, which was popular at the time, it had the advantage that it was not only an effective cutting weapon, but could also serve as a thrusting weapon. Side swords were popular weapons when fighting with swords and shields.

Paul Chen's side sword is based on a German model and has excellent balance properties. The locking handle provides excellent hand protection, and thanks to the blade's geometry, this sword offers exceptional performance as a slashing and piercing weapon.
