Hammerterz Forum collected issuesHammerterz Forum ran from 1994 to 1999 and remains the premier journal of western sword arts. While most of the world was getting their information from Hollywood, editor Christoph Amberger was publishing articles and information that would eventually spark and anchor a massive research boom in European swordsmanship. Amberger not only researched the subject, he is one of the very few people I'm aware of who has actually participated in duels with "sharps". As a member of two of the most respected duelling fraternities in Germany he fought seven Mensuren with the bell-guard and basket-hilt Schläger between 1985 and 1987.Chris has given SDKsupplies permission to collect and offer Hammerterz Forum to those who were not fortunate enough to obtain the journal as it was published. This is "must have" information for any serious student of the sword and SDKsupplies is extremely pleased to be able to provide it once again. Some reprinted articles from HF can be seen at The Journal of Western Martial Arts. Hammerterz Forum Collected is 8x10 inches, and cerlox bound. It is 364 pages covering the Summer of 1994 to the Fall of 1999, the complete print run. $95 (includes shipping in North America) TIN/JJSA collected issuesHere is the modern history of Japanese sword in the west, collected in one place.
