The Rawlings Xtreme Synthetic features a 34-inch blade crafted from reinforced high-impact polymer, with an overall length of 41½ inches. Developed in collaboration with Dave Rawlings of the London Longsword Academy, this training sword is designed specifically for safe sparring and historical European martial arts practice. The blade flexes in the final third of its length toward the tip, enabling safer thrusting than conventional wooden wasters, while a high-tensile steel rod running the full length of the handle eliminates the flex typical of plastic training swords. The brown thermoplastic elastomer grip absorbs strike impact and grips the tang securely. The sword weighs about two-thirds what a steel blade would, heavier than most wooden alternatives but with significantly less impact force during sparring. A molded brass nut in the black wheel pommel compresses the grip against the black guard, creating a tight metal-on-metal joint. The design allows for quick assembly and disassembly, making transport straightforward. It serves equally well for theatrical use or training applications. Note that specifications may vary slightly between individual pieces.
