Angus Trim developed this style of HEMA training sword—featuring a profile design he termed "I-Beam"—to address two common issues: blades that taper to thin, easily damaged edges, and blades that are so thick they handle like crowbars. The prominent central fuller allows for a thicker striking edge while ensuring the sword remains easy to handle.

The specifications mentioned above may vary slightly from piece to piece.
