Description of the Product

Rattan is perfect material for training swords. It is lightweight, yet sturdy, and can withstand quite a lot of weight, bending and beating. Rattan has some flexibility, but not too much. When rattan is damaged it breaks into flexible fibers instead of sharp splinters so it's also quite safe material. Rattan as a material differs from traditional woods because fundamentally it's more like a grass. Rattan is a climbing palm meaning it doesn't grow independently on its own, growing its own thick and sturdy trunk, but climbs up using other trees. Since rattan climbs up using a support tree, rattan's own trunk is long, narrow and flexible.

Rattan is available in two diameters. The thicker, 30-35 mm, is perfect for heavy swordplay where you want to use full force, like in SCA armoured combat (also called just heavy combat). The thinner, 19-25 mm, on the other hand is a perfect for quick swordplay where full force is not needed, for example as a single stick-sword in HEMA.

There are two length options for the rattan sword. You can choose either 99 cm length, or 80 cm length. If you need a shorter stick, for example for Escrima or if you otherwise want to modify your sword, normal wood working hand tools work fine with rattan, i.e. a saw, a file and sandpaper will cut into rattan easily.

Rattan is flexible and malleable (for example rattan furniture is made by bending it), but the downside of this malleability is that the training sword can also take a slight bend/warp, e.g. during transport or when stored at an angle. The good thing is that rattan can also be easily straightened. Maybe the easiest way to straighten a curved rattan stick is to put a little weight on the rattan so that it lays flat and straight against the floor. When the rattan is left to straighten under weight like this, it straightens itself and stays straight after a few days. In humid conditions (garage, outdoor storage, terrace, etc.) straightening happens faster than in dry indoor air. If you want to do the straightening quickly, you can heat the rattan (e.g. with a heat gun blowing hot air) and bending it straight. After cooling, the rattan keeps the shape. With this heating method, rattan can also be bent into very sharp turns and shapes, and this method is typically used when making furniture.

Sain kaksi muistikirjaa ja kalligrafiasetin setin 25-vuotis lahjaksi rakkaaltani. Ne ovat upeita! Olen saanut valtavasti kyselyitÀ muistikirjan alkuperÀstÀ ja kehunut Rautaporttia laadukkaasta kÀsityöstÀ. Tuotteista huokuu estetiikka, laatu ja taianomaisuus. TÀydellinen lahja historia-/fantasianörtille!
