Black Market Kitespar Sword
Black Market Kitespar Sword
WHAT’S GREAT ABOUT BLACK MARKET KITESPAR SWORDS?
-The black market kitespar sword has a counterweighted handle.
-The oblong handle and thin foam blade offer easy handling
-The old style kitespar rope wrap handle with glove grip is upgraded to our new rope-free thin profile handle.
-The Black Market Kitespar sword is better than the classic kitespar sword but not as minmax as our new Secret Sword. The secret sword and Black Market Kitespar Sword share the same new handle but the Black Market has a more durable and foam blade and is counterweighted in the handle. The secret sword has a beveled striking surface and a counterweighted pommel. The new Black Market Kitespar Sword feels great, is available in covers, and will offer you a longer life than the ultra minmax secret sword.

Testimonies
“I love this sword. However, my foes do not! It’s light, fast, and leaves a nice sting I’ve been told xD. Buying another soon.” SlothDaOgre 10/11/16
“Awesome swords as usual. I call them my “beating wands.” For some reason, no one else does.” TwilightEffigy 11/14/16
“As a protege to PTQ and a member of the Amyr, I have drifted towards omni bladed weapons since about 2009, until I purchased a Black Market flat-blade from Gorg last year. Let me preface the technical review part of this story with a sales pitch. There is absolutely no better flat blade in the market. Period. The weapon sits at 36″ and sits around 12.5 oz, with the balance sitting right around the top of the handle, which translates to perfection for any sword. The sword is responsive and is very comfortable in the hand with a rectangular oblong handle, making holding the sword at a 90°angle ideal. The blade itself is much thinner profile than the typical 3″ flat. Sitting at around 2.5, it finds slots and lanes other swords cannot and cuts air as if it were whipped cream. This weapon is a masterpiece. Buy one!”  Sir Trogdor  12/2/16

This is a great stick. I used mine for 11 months of hard (2 to 3 times a week) fighting before it broke down at the tip ( the weakest part of any stick). His reblade is top notch and has served me well since then.

Just picked one up late last year and wished I had done so sooner! Very light but still does the deed smoothly without a lot of “light” shots. Looking forward to more use!
Eddie Dennis –
I love mine. I have had it since last July. It has seen some heavy fighting in that time. The best thing is when you see people’s reaction to how fast it is when you snipe a limb. It seems to be the sword that gets the job done.

I have had my Gorg black market sword for 2 years & some change & I have no complaints
Eric Sapien-Flanagan –
My favorite freakin sword. ?

Lord and Lady both did an amazing job on this weapon. It feels sturdy and substantial, but just seems to float in the hand, screaming to be swung. Great quality all around! But the crowning star is the service I received. I asked that a time constraint be met, and they went above and beyond to meet my requests. If you want quality from a company that cares about your gaming, shop Gorg.

Just recieved mine and instantly could feel the difference in weight and balance from my old blue. I can swing, recover, and react much faster with this amazing sword.

I personally build gear myself and cannot match the quality of this product. The weighting and slim profile make this blade feel amazing in your hands.

High quality, light weight and durable. Everything you can ask for.
Darkon Wargaming Club is starting to exclusively use Gorg’s weapons for our “Relics” which take a beating.

A little heavier then amtgard blades, but served well and perfectly during my intro to bel! quite a combo with a sword and board!
OAKS0331 (verified owner) –
Great flatblade sword! It is balanced well and feels very light and responsive. It’s slim design makes hitting a slot shot between a sword and board much easier than a standard flatblade or omniblade. My only complaint is that my swords were 37″ instead of 36″ from pommel to tip. I also play Amtgard and 36″ is the max length for a short sword. Next time I’ll order it 35″ or 34″. Other than than minor issue, these swords are outstanding!

A great stick. Full disclosure, I am an Amtgarder but tend toward heavier sticks due to Dagorhir friends. I bought this stick direct from Ladi G at A&S Symposium and am already in love. The handle fits my grip nearly perfectly, I can move up and down the handle to change shots on the fly, and the construction feels nearly flawless. I usually build my own gear but this weapon makes me happy and will probably serve as my main for quite a while. I’m looking forward to purchasing some more gear from Gorg in the future.

Well crafted and balanced! I’m new to Amtgard but I love the sport.

They are great! Solid. I ordered 2 for my flow style and there just isn’t anything bad I can say.
