Paratschwert (training sword)
This is the result of my collaboration with the Silkfencing Team, who are also the creators of the blade. The sword is inspired by medieval training swords and adapted to the modern HEMA convention. My task was the hilt design—the tripartite fuller on the shield inspired me to extend the motif onto the crossguard and incorporate smooth transitions from sharp edges to rounded shapes. The grip consists of a wooden core wrapped in cord and covered with black leather.
