New product – SIGI Montante

We are happy to introduce the long awaited new addition to our product lineup – the SIGI Montante!

Montante, also known as Spadone or Zweihänder (etc) is the largest sword of the European battlefield. Utilized mainly in the renaissance era, it served mercenaries and ordinary soldiers alike. It was used both for protection and offense, because the ‘longer blade can keep more weapons occupied’. Nowadays, mostly thanks to surviving Spanish treatises it’s a popular pick for solo practice due to the sheer amount of forms.

Hello! There’s a little update for the SIGI Saber Bow – the order form now offers the Bow XL variant that’ll accomodate larger gloves (popular demand). No extra costs, just one or the other.

Rapier (rapière, espada ropera, rappier or spada) is one of the symbols of renaissance. It’s deeply connected to “new” things, new customs, new world. It is also a symbol of the dueling culture and it’s often the first thing people imagine when someone says “a sword”. It’s an elegant weapon that heralded the transformation of fencing towards the form we practice today.

Hey there friends, we’re happy to announce our Messers & Kriegsmessers are better than ever before! The customer favorite duo has a few new features for all new orders:

“Is there a place where I could find all upcoming HEMA events?” is a very typical question that HEMA folks ask or hear. The answer is mostly negative, though there are some pages that aggregate events or clubs.

To solve this issue we have created the HEMA Event Calendar, a new feature which you can find on the SIGI website. Initially a project for the students of our club, its scope has become bigger with implementation.
