The solid steel ball is hand-forged (is not hollow) and the bolts/thorns are welded onto it. The bolts on the ball are available in two versions: with sharp (see product photo) and blunt tips. The blunt version is designed for use in public battles and theatrical show. The sharp bolts are combat-ready as well, but due to the risk of injury, it should be used by experienced fencers only AND only at one´s own risk and responsibility. More information...

The military flail or simply flail is a weapon commonly attributed to the Middle Ages but for which only a limited amount of historical evidence currently exists for most of this era. There is evidence for the long-handled flail as a weapon of war from Germany and Central Europe in the later Middle Ages. Typically, the weapon is depicted as one (or more) weights attached to a handle with a hinge or chain.
