Makers of high performance historical fencing swords

We’re fencers, scientists, and history buffs. By revisiting historical examples through the lens of math and physics, we’re creating tools the old masters would be proud of—delivered with machine precision and consistency.
Update: As of January 18th, we have paused production of The Standard for personal reasons. If you need a replacement blade or parts, please contact us by email at info@eskerforge.com.

Safety

Our swords provide low inertia, high flexibility, and are tuned to avoid small contact areas.

Historical Performance

We study historical examples to revive highly performant blade geometries with minimal inertia and exceptional bind presence.

Machine Precision

We use modern methods to produce our swords consistently as designed.

The Standard Feder

When we researched historical examples, we were surprised by how optimized the KZ 1029 and KZ 1030 examples are for competitive fencing. We've made a safe fechtschwert (fencing sword) with incredibly light handling and flex. Because of historically inspired geometry, it stays rigid without flopping during movements and has strong bind presence.

It just moves where you tell it to.

Fencers love our swords

Here are some reactions from fencers in our local HEMA community.
“It just goes where I tell it to.”
— John
“It handles so light I give it to my youth class students.”
— David Ito
“I'm used to handling shorter blunt longswords, this is the first feder I like.”
— Keight
“This is the first sword where I can use Meyer techniques competitively.”
— TA
It's like when I [as a carpenter] use my $500 hammer. You pick it up and you just understand.
— Jordan
I don't have to think about the weight of it, and I don't have to fight it.
— Peter
