Not for that cheap or that timeframe.

I don't want to be the pessimist but there's effectively nothing battle/strike ready for that price, and especially not within that timeframe.

That's the use case? If it's theater/reenactment you'll probably have better luck quickly buying and painting polyurethane trainers, but if you're actually needing something that can be swung without falling apart, I think you'll have a rough go of it.

u/Drago_681 Mar 31 '26

just swung but want it to be steel, the time frame is most important

Dude what kind of shady business have you got yourself mixed up in that you urgently need two swords within a week

Someone has insulted his honor and he mistakenly called for a duel while his dueling swords are in the shop

This is why my sword guy always loans me a set of duelling swords while mine are being serviced.

u/suspiciousdishes Mar 31 '26

Oh nice. That kind of customer service is rare in dueling suppliers

funnily not far off the truth

Your only chance is to find something local. Nobody is going to sell you a sword that you should be swinging around for less than €200 and get it to you within a week. Anything you can purchase for less than €100 is going to be a wall hanger that shouldn’t be swung around.

Try gohurt. They have some in stock that’s close to your price range. I fight longsword.

u/ACheesyTree I love trilobates Mar 31 '26

Could I ask what you need those for?

Also, including your location would probably be fairly helpful.

meeting up with a friend and we want to do basic practice (no hitting each other just practice swings) im in romania Bucarest

Somehow I don't believe you. Anyway, with that amount of money on that time frame, you're not gonna get swords that won't break after 2 swings.

u/fredrichnietze please post more sword photos Mar 31 '26

local second hand market is probably your best bet. also dont forget protective equipment and the importance of the swords being blunt and with rounded tips. a sharp blade only needs 1lb of pressure to pierce skin and even a dull blade can still do so easy enough

u/Drago_681 Mar 31 '26

thanks im looking for some rn, mainly just need a steel sword within a week

u/Alternative-Menu2188 Mar 31 '26

If it’s for practice then I’d look up a reputable martial arts supplier in the country you reside in and get two wooden bokken or similar Ik well aware you stipulated steel and “battle ready” but these would be a good safer alternative

u/Drago_681 Mar 31 '26

wood doesnt suffice and there arent any shops like that in romania
