Ohhh no! My sword just broke! What can I do? ????
Happened with some of us or at least we saw this. The sound "KLINK" that frightens us and we feel like we are in a deep trouble. The truth is: this will happen sooner or later (until someone finds adamantium).
Important things to remember
1., In VB we use one of the best carboon steel which we carefully forge into swords. Still this can't stop a sword to brake at some point. Especially when we hit a heat treated convex helmet.
2., We give 1 year warranty on our regular swords. If your's snap: don't be sad! You'll get a new!
3., If it is just the guard (or even the blade for feders) especially in the case of our HEMA weapons you can get a new part!
4., Maintain your weapon! Cleaning the rust is one thing, but griding off the chips and rolls is a different thing! This will help the sword's lifetime.
On the photo: Adam broke is buhurt longsword (bad blocking helped too). It was 5 years old and saw many trainings and tournaments. But Adam knows he can reuse the parts. ????️
