Bologna Sidesword
From: € 280,00 (Exc. VAT)
Power & Presence – The Bologna Sidesword shares its lineage with our Firenze model but features a wider and heavier blade, offering a more authoritative presence in the hand.
While still responsive and well-balanced, the added mass gives it a more grounded feel, ideal for those who prefer a blade with stronger cutting potential and more pronounced feedback. It excels in structured drills, cutting-oriented techniques, and sparring scenarios where control and pressure matter.
Inspired by the rich martial tradition of 16th-century Bologna, this sword combines historical design with modern craftsmanship, making it a reliable and elegant choice for both training and interpretation.
