∴ Care and Maintenance ∴
We believe that a good fencing sword should last you a lifetime or longer, forming a part of your legend and winning you plenty of fun along the way.
In practice, however, there are a number of small issues that can lead to larger problems and shorten the lifespan of your weapon. From red rust to notches along the edge of the blade, if you don’t see to the small things regularly, the damage can add up over time.
That’s why we’ve created a new deluxe swordcare kit, to help you take protect your sword as well as it protects you. The most comprehensive kit currently on the market, it contains everything you need to combat tarnishing, rust, burrs and notches – as well as a 20 page guide to solving common swordcare problems.
Our care kits are available for £25 plus postage. Scroll down to order yours now.
∴ Contents ∴
Our swordcare kit is kept in a linen drawstring bag, ideal for slipping in your sword bag for classes and events. Each bag contains the following:
- A 50ml tin of beeswax based polish, to keep your sword protected from moisture
- An organic cotton terry towel cloth, for applying and removing wax
- A 120 grit flexible sanding block, to remove rust and tarnishing
- A 15mm flat file, to remove burrs and smooth the edge
- A 15mm round file, to file out notches and prevent breakages
- A Balefire Blades fabric patch for your jacket or kit bag
- A 20 page maintenance manual written by Chris, explaining how to use your care kit and how to troubleshoot common swordcare issues.

It seems to be working now, so hopefully you’ve received my form. Thank you.
Hi, that’s strange – the tests I ran on the form this morning went through as expected. If you try again and it doesn’t work, contact us on our Facebook page instead and we’ll make sure we get one to you!
Hi, I tried to fill in your form to order a set but it says the link expired.
Hello! This kit can be used with any sword, and the tips in the care manual are brand agnostic too. We believe that all blades can benefit from a light abrasive, some beeswax polish, and a good set of files!
Is this care kit compatible with all steel blades or just for your balefire blades? I have a Regenyei and a Danelli which I train with.
