Sigi Forge Feder Longsword

This image features a high-quality HEMA training weapon, specifically a 'Feder' or longsword simulator, crafted by the renowned workshop Sigi Forge. Based in Slovakia, Sigi Forge has become a leading international name in the Historical European Martial Arts community, known for producing tools that balance historical accuracy with modern safety standards.

The brand was founded in Bratislava, Slovakia, by a group of dedicated HEMA practitioners who sought to improve upon the existing training tools available at the time. Their products are characterized by distinct aesthetic designs — like the cord-wrapped grip and unique pommel seen here — and are primarily manufactured in their Slovakian workshop to ensure quality control for martial artists worldwide.

Sigi Forge remains an independent company owned by its founders. While they do not have large-scale corporate subsidiaries, they distribute their artisanal sporting equipment globally through direct sales and specialized HEMA gear retailers.
