Wooden checker 80 cm - Robinia wood

Wooden checker is a training copy of a cold weapon, which belongs to the type of one-handed chopping and stabbing weapons. The length of the checkers, as a rule, was no more than 1 meter. Checkers did not have a protective guard, as in a saber, but in some designs there could be an ephesus in the form of a half-ring to protect the fingers. The weapon has a small minimum deflection. The main emphasis when striking blows with a checker was made on a chopping blow (principle of defeat with one blow). Checkers were used in both cavalry and infantry. The wood is treated with natural oil, which adds shine, emphasizes the wood structure, and protects it from moisture and dirt.
