On the site of Kickstarter appeared a project of an unusual
sports equipment - and almost instantly raised the funds necessary to launch it
into production.
This Flowsaber - the world's first "Jedi" stunt
sword for martial arts, performance and cosplay. The developers emphasize that
this is not a mock-up, not a toy and not a souvenir - it's a full-fledged sparring
projectile. As a basis for its design was taken a classic European long sword.
Weight Flowsaber is 900 grams - it accurately reproduces the
mass and maneuverability of the combat sword. The blade is made of durable
polycarbonate and is suitable for full-contact sparring. As wear, the blade can
be changed.
The handle of the sword is made of aviation aluminum and is
capable of absorbing vibrations of excessively powerful impacts. It has a
thickness of 2.5 centimeters and perfectly balances the blade of Flowsaber.
Also included is a button for the LED backlight module, which gives the sword a
bright glow (red, blue, blue, green, white and amber for the user's choice).
The module is powered by a lithium-ion battery, which lasts for 3 hours.
Manufacturers offer two variations of the sword. The first,
Sparring - is heavier, stronger and suitable for training battles in full
force. The second, Flow - is easier, more maneuverable and is designed to
perform tricks and theatrical battles.
Deliveries of Flowsaber will begin in June this year, and
the price of the sword will be $ 299.
