KZ 1030 – Paratschwert

The KZ 1030 – Paratschwert is a faithful replica of a 16th-century training sword, meticulously based on an original housed at the Schweizerische Landesmuseum in Zürich.

Measured and documented by Daniel Jaquet, this feder captures the proportions, dynamics, and character of a historical “paratschwert” used in the Renaissance for fencing practice and public display. While firmly rooted in history, the KZ 1030 stands as a state-of-the-art federschwert, combining agility, precision, and exceptional handling.

Its clean, flowing lines and carefully balanced construction result in a feder that feels alive in the hand — quick to respond, stable in the bind, and clear in every action. Whether used in technical work, blossfechten, or as a historically accurate centerpiece, the KZ 1030 embodies everything a federschwert should be: elegant, efficient, and expertly crafted.
