Castille Armory – Economy Longsword

The Economy Long Sword from Castille Armory is a fantastically nimble and agile HEMA optimized sword that can move fast and in sync with the mind of the duelist; its a great pick for younger or smaller fighters who may prefer a light sword or the experienced duellist who wants a lightning fast sword with fantastic bind capability. The well tempered 36″ blade has the Castille F3 flex level (see below) which terminates in a spatulated tip that can be paired with a rubber blunt (sold separately). Proudly made in the USA, Castille Armory’s blades are crafted entirely in-house at their Southern Oregon workshop, where each blade is cut, ground, and assembled by their experienced team. Constructed from Castille’s proprietary blue-tempered 5160 spring steel sourced from American mills, every blade is produced using certified materials to ensure exceptional quality and consistency.

Castille’s Economy Series demonstrates how thoughtful engineering and streamlined manufacturing can deliver outstanding value without sacrificing performance. Designed for HEMA and sport fencing practitioners seeking an affordable yet dependable training weapon, these blades retain the durability, handling characteristics, and craftsmanship that have made Castille Armory a respected name among American sword makers.

The 10″ wide guard is eminently practical and it is paired with a pear shaped pommel designed specifically for this sword in order to give it an exactingly sized and weighted balance and a comfortable handhold for techniques involving a grip on the pommel. The 8 inch grip is crafted from PLA is extraordinarily durable and has a tactile surface to ensure a good grip. Like all Castille economy series swords it can be disassembled as needed for transport or replacement of components.
