Descendant Leather’s Weapon Trainers are made to be used in full contact Historical European Martial Arts. The material used for the heads (striking surface) is flexible but has enough structure for manipulation techniques. The handles are cut from raw hardwood from a local lumber mill, generally, oak but rare woods can be available for custom orders.
Not only can they be used with our other polearms, but last just as long against blunted steel swords and even shields. Though most of our trainers are made for “unarmored” sparring, we can make the same trainers specifically for harnessfechten.

Loch made us 2 custom sized axes for our height and added a bit at the end as well. These are very high quality and hold up very well. They don’t hit hard and they bind and move well. They are very lightweight and balanced very nicely.

We use these for Viking combat classes in our school. There’s simply no better option out there for learning Dane axe without caving in all your friends’ skulls.
