Part of me wants to say "THIS IS A FEDERSCHWERTER. IT SCHWERTS FEDERS."

@whowantsabighug The whole talk was nearly ten minutes long. This is not much more than half the length and contains 97.2% of the meaning of the talk. I try to keep my videos short. The choppy editing may be annoying, but on the plus side, the video has better pace as a result.

As i own and use one of these regularly i feel i must clarify some:
Federschwert : Spring sword. it's not named after a feather and is not an indication of the weight.
It's made to be "safe" to train thrusting with, the last 6 inches or so flex, so you don't kill your sparring partner.
The weight and balance of the sword is very close to a contemporary longsword, it's not a weakling "light" version.

@KuroNekoPL I agree with you, he says fecht which does mean fence, alternatively- feder means feather, which could be a focus on its weight, even though it is stated that isn't really any lighter. Feather fencers is the name of the guild, maybe actually an insult by the opposing guild?
-
I'm not too proficient in German, but even I can tell, that he says Fechtershwert, not Federschwert. Why? I'm Polish, and in Polish language "Fechtować" means "to fence".

@Lukos0036 the european bokken is called "waster".
-
so the sword in his right hand is a katzbalger?
-
The sword is called Federschwert. ;)
And it is a simple training sword. There are a few videos where you can see those in action. Like this one if you search it on youtube "German Longsword freeplay"
-
"Federschwerter" is german and means as much as "feather sword"
-
@fakejohnwilkesbooth A tusk on the other hand is the same as a sinclair sabre. :)
-
my training partner bought 4 of those exact same feders and we bend 2 of them within 1 minute of sparring. The grip bended right at the cross guard and the blade took and S shape. Just a comment out of experience, if anyone was thinking of buying those. (DON'T!)

I don't think the Federschwerter has a point.
