Quick Silver Saber - Swordier

The Swordier SWHZ-1021 “Quick Silver” is a lightweight HEMA tournament saber designed for speed, precision, and full-contact sparring. At only 666g, this saber earns its name. It moves quickly in the hand, recovers fast after cuts, and gives the fencer the kind of responsive point control needed for high-tempo exchanges.

This is a strong choice for saber fencers working from systems such as Roworth, Angelo, and other British military saber traditions. The slim blade profile helps reduce unnecessary weight, making cuts, feints, disengages, and quick redirections feel sharp and efficient. It is especially useful for fencers who want a saber that rewards timing, clean mechanics, and fast decision-making rather than relying on heavy blade presence.

The wide perforated guard provides practical hand protection while keeping the overall weight low. This helps the saber stay nimble without feeling underbuilt or unsafe for regular HEMA use. The balance point gives it a lively forward presence, but it still feels easy to control through moulinets, hanging guards, parries, thrusts, and fast recovery actions.

The SWHZ-1021 is built from 60Si2Mn spring steel with enhanced heat treatment applied to both the blade and guard. Its ~5kg flex makes it more forgiving in the thrust while still maintaining the structure needed for sparring and tournament fencing. For fencers looking for a fast, lightweight competition saber, the Quick Silver is a strong value option that feels quick, clean, and purpose-built for modern HEMA saber.

As always, check your club or tournament weapon requirements before competing, since event rules can vary.
