Overview
Fabri Armorum - Katzbalger
Please Note: Grip leather color can vary from light brown, to dark brown or fully black
This Katzbalger is tough, dependable and ready to take and dish out the hardest hits in a form optimized for heavy armored sport combat or frenetic stage combat. Like historical originals, this famed sidearm of the Landsknecht mercenaries was designed for fighting in the close quarters combat between tight formations of men armed with pikes, halberds and swords. The wide and short blade is optimized for durability and giving more mass in the blade to give the sword a dominating presence in the parry and bind - its shorter length keeps it from getting entangled among a hedgehog mass of pole weapons. The large S-Guard quillons are visibly overbuilt compared to many other swords, but this is entirely deliberate and ensures that the sword can take glancing impacts from heavier and powerful polearms or large swords and continue to protect the hand reliably.
The nearly 24″ blade has thick, rebated edges to optimize its resilience for blade-to-blade combat and a wide, spatulate tip for safety. The hilt components are crafted from tough steel. The grip is wrapped in spiraled black leather to complete the sword.

The Maker
Fabri Armorum
Jiri Krondak’s workshop, the Fabri Armorum of the Czech Republic has been crafting high quality medieval replicas and recreations since 1989. Swords and weapons from Fabri Armorum typically specialize in robust pieces for stage and HMB sport combat, as well as HEMA and are well regarded for their durability, longevity and toughness.
Fabri Armorum uses 54SiCr6 (14260 ÄŒSN) steel which is typically used in industrial settings for components such as performance train suspension or valve springs in engines that are exposed to high, repetitive impact stress.
