CATEGORY B: Carbon steel swords of high quality and well balanced, but less hard than category A. They support well controlled combat without strong blows. They must be used with swords of the same hardness. They cannot be guaranteed because they can suffer damage if they collide with harder blades, so it is recommended not to use them with Category A swords. The minimum hardness is 48 HRC. They are full tang, bolted or welded to the grip. Light and easy to handle with a balanced center of gravity. They have a blunt edge and are not sharp. These types of swords are intended for performing arts, recreation, historical fencing (HEMA) training and combat. The double-edged EN45 hardened spring steel blade tapers slightly towards the tip and has a length of approx. 2 cm wide fuller extending almost the entire length of the blade on both sides. The thick edges are not sharp and the full tang of the blade is riveted to the pommel. The wooden hilt has a tight binding of brown leather cord. It is framed by a robust pommel and straight crosshead, both made of steel. The guard is approx. 16.5 cm long and approx. 2 cm thick at the center, with quills tapering to approx. 0.5 cm in cylindrical shape.
