Overview
Castille Armory – Sidesword
A Side Sword should flow in the cut, have plenty of blade presence, have a nimble ability to point with the tip and be comfortable to wield. This was Castille Armory's goals for this effective yet affordable design that ticks all the boxes for a practical Sidesword. Like all Castille swords, these are cut, ground, and assembled in their little plant in Southern Oregon. They use our proprietary specialty 5160 blue temper steel for the Economy Side Sword Blades from mills right here in the U.S. Castille get certifications for all of their raw materials to ensure that only the best modern materials are being used to create these swords.
The Economy Sidesword here has a blade which is 37" in length and offered in Castille's F3 level of flex as it has become the universal standard for both SCA and HEMA combat (see below) The guard is a traditional build using high strength 100 grade alloy steel. It has ample hand protection that can ably a large protective glove.

The Maker
Castille Armory
In 2013 Sam Kovic decided to jump in head first and take his love for the art of defense to a higher level. Zenergy Metal Works, LLC was founded and Castille Armory was brought to life.
What started off as a garage-based hobby turned into a full-fledged business in 2013 with the rental of a small shop in Central Point, Oregon. Castille quickly outgrew that 2000 sq ft space and moved to a larger shop in Medford, and then we outgrew that building and started renting the one next door, and a few years later the one next door to that! Finally in 2018 we made the jump to a much larger shop in Phoenix, Oregon where we all live happily under one roof.
Since 2013, Castille Armory has entered the international arena and orders have far surpassed the output of a hobby shop. Sam has had to pass on his knowledge and techniques to his crew, a band of talented individuals who share the deep love for all things swords. This personal passion keeps Castille Armory moving forward. Because quality and attention to detail are everything in a niche market, everyone who works at Castille Armory also fences—mostly because we love to—but it’s that hands-on approach that means we designed your sword as if it were our own. If it’s not good enough for us to use in tournament, it’s not good enough for you.
