The blade is back—and it’s sharper than ever.
Kingston Arms has unveiled a stunning redesign of their Renaissance Side Sword, breathing new life into a classic that’s long been a favorite among collectors, martial artists, and historical enthusiasts. This isn’t just a cosmetic refresh—it’s a thoughtful evolution that honors tradition while embracing modern craftsmanship.
What’s New?
- Refined Guard Geometry: The swept hilt now features sleeker lines and improved balance, offering both aesthetic appeal and enhanced handling.
- Upgraded Grip Materials: A textured leather wrap over cord ensures a secure hold, whether you’re drilling in the salle or displaying it proudly.
- Improved Blade Profile: The 5160 high-carbon steel blade has been re-tuned for better flex and durability, making it ideal for both cutting and controlled sparring.
A Sword with Purpose
Designed with input from HEMA practitioners and historical fencing experts, this side sword bridges the gap between museum-worthy elegance and battlefield-ready function. It’s light, responsive, and built to move—just like the swords that danced through the dueling courts of 16th-century Europe.
Whether you’re a reenactor, a martial artist, or a collector seeking a piece that speaks to legacy and precision, the Kingston Arms Side Sword delivers.
