The Spada di Fiore
The Spada di Fiore is the perfect sword for use in one or two hands. With a 34” blade and a 7.25” grip, this sword is ideal for the study of late 14th to early 15th century martial arts.
The Fiore
Each Fiore blade is made from 5160 alloy steel in partnership with Castille Armory. The Spada di Fiore is 1.75” wide at the shoulders, tapering to a 5/8'“ tip, with a single fuller running down one-third of the blade. These blades are offered between Castille’s F3 and F4 flex rating.
The cross guard of each Fiore is hand-forged from 5160 steel, and heat treated for strength and durability. Guard styles are taken from the Oakeshott Typeology, and include Straight (Style 1), Flared (Style 2), Curved (Style 7), Hooked (Style 8), or S Curved (Style 12). Guards can be finished in Bright Satin or Blackened.
The pommel of the Fiore is important to give it the balance and feel it needs to be usable in either one or two hands. Options include Disc (Type G), Wheel (Type K), Faceted Scent Stopper (Type T), Round Scent Stopper (Type T2), or Fishtail (Type V1).
The grip of the Fiore may seem short to some, but at 7.25” it allows for use as a true hand-and-a-half sword. Grips are made of impact-resistant polycarbonate, covered with a layer of cotton cord, and finished with hand-dyed veg-tan leather. Leather colors available include black, brown, red, oxblood, blue, green, and black (other colors available on request). Grips can optionally feature a half wire wrap in blackened or polished steel, copper, brass, or a combination of materials.
