This list is an effort to compile the most well-known manufacturers of HEMA weapons. If you have an addition, or a comment about an existing company, please let me know, and I’ll try to keep this list updated.
These are generally the individuals/companies who are go-tos for training swords. Their production capacity is such that you’re more likely to get a sword from these makers faster than from someone else.
These makers also have a good history of making HEMA training weapons, but their production capacity is much lower than the previously-listed companies.
These makers aren’t so popular anymore, usually because their prices have gone up considerably, or their models haven’t changed over the years; many folks consider trainers from these companies to be outclassed by newer brands/models for sparring purposes.
More maker options, generally known for weapons other than longsword.
