OUR BACKGROUND: At Hollow Earth, we developed the original hickory sparring weapon. Through many years of testing we have found hickory to be the superior American hardwood for sparring weapons. We founded our company in 1984, and as my children have grown up, so has the business. Now we proudly involve three generations of our family in making our fine wooden weapons. These swords have become a tradition for our family, as we hope they will for yours. Thank you for visiting our shop!
