NZ HEMA Supplies

NZ HEMA Supplies This is purely a passion project with the aim to improve HEMA in New Zealand. I've been doing Reenactment / HEMA for over 20 years now.

I've always struggled to get gear from overseas. You either need to do a large order as a group or accept you are a paying a ton in shipping, let alone the time it takes to finally get it. This can put off new enthusiast and make it hard for clubs to grow. I aim to help reduce that by holding stock of the commonly required gear needed for HEMA. The discounts I receive from buying in bulk and the m

oney saved on shipping with the large orders goes towards a profit margin which I intend to use to continue to expand the range. My first selection of goods will be Masks and Gloves (the most essential gear required). I'd love to expand into swords from reputable manufactures around the glove (Regenyei, Black Fencer, Castille, ect). Gambeson will likely be the last product I get into as they usually require fitting.

Vytis gorgets have officially landed! All sizes, both light and heavy, including the nape and clavicle attachments.

That said… I definitely didn’t order enough. If you’ve been waiting on one, get in quick—these won’t last long. I’ll be placing another order after the weekend sales. Get in quick if you want to secure one from this shipment!

Thanks for all the support!

Finally! Vytis Gorgets are on the way!
All sizes, light and heavy versions, with both Nape and Clavicle attachments available, perfect for keeping those precious arteries safe.

Also, yes… I’ve noticed too, a lot of swords are sold out. What a problem to have, right?
Fear not, I’ve got two shipments of 20 swords each on the way, that’s 40 more blades incoming for all your glorious HEMA bashing needs.

I’m also exploring new brands to expand the range. If there’s anything specific you’d love to see in the store, drop me a comment or message.
And yes, I’ve heard the SCA crowd getting loud, they might just win this round.

Lastly, a huge congratulations to everyone who took part in the Auckland Sword and Shield AAA Tournament this weekend. It’s awesome to see the community thriving and bringing that passion to the field.

Stay sharp!

Happy 2025 from NZ HEMA Supplies

January was another great month, with plenty of gear heading out to fighters across New Zealand.

Some sideswords have sold out, feders are almost gone, and most Black Knight gauntlets are now sold out. But don’t worry—new stock is always on the way, even if it takes a bit longer to arrive.

New throat protectors should also be arriving before too long.

If there are other products or suppliers you’d like to see added to the store, let me know. Always looking to expand the range to better support the HEMA community.

Thanks for your support, and here’s to another year of great fights!

End of Year Wrap-Up from NZ HEMA Supplies!

As 2024 comes to a close, I want to take a moment to thank everyone who has supported NZ HEMA Supplies this year. Whether you made a purchase, shared a post, or simply spread the word, your support has meant the world to me and has helped our HEMA community grow stronger.

This year has been a big one! I’ve managed to branch out into stocking more swords and I’m thrilled to say that 2025 is shaping up to be even better. I’m already working on adding more items to the store, with new throat protectors on the way and some exciting plans to expand the range even further.

I’m always open to feedback, so let me know what gear or equipment you'd like to see stocked next. NZ HEMA is only just getting started, and your input helps me keep growing and serving the community.

If you haven’t checked out the website in a while, now’s the time! New ranges have been added, so head over and see what’s new. You might find exactly what you’ve been looking for—or didn’t know you needed!

Thank you all again for an incredible 2024. Bring on 2025! Let’s make it even bigger and better.

See you in the new year!

Hey everyone!

Just a heads-up—it's been our biggest sales month ever, which is why the website’s looking a bit empty on stock right now. Rest assured, I’ve got a massive order coming in from HF Armory, the largest I’ve placed yet! It’s just waiting on their Large masks to restock, which should be any day now.

In this shipment, I’m excited to bring in three new glove models, including the brand-new Prince gloves! I’ll give these a review once they arrive. They only come in M/L, and I’ve got just two pairs ordered—one for myself and another for a keen customer. If they pass the test, I’ll consider adding them to our regular lineup.

And as always, keep the suggestions coming! Let me know what brands or products you'd like to see next.

Thanks for all the support this month!

Regenyei Rapier Update!
I’m thrilled to announce that all four Regenyei rapiers sold out this week! Thanks so much for the support. I’m working on getting more in stock and have another order coming in hopefully before the end of the year, so stay tuned—I'll do my best to get more rapiers added to that shipment!

Hey everyone!

It’s been a little while since my last update, so I wanted to fill you all in on some exciting news.

I’ve got another 22 blades arriving around mid to late next week, which I know many of you have been looking forward to!

Due to the ongoing situation in Ukraine, shipments from HF Armory have been delayed. However, I’m hoping for a big order by the end of this month to get all my stock back to where it should be.

On another note, I’m looking at adding Vytis throat protectors to the range soon, so keep an eye out for those.

As always, I’d love to hear from you! Let me know what products you’re interested in or anything else I can do to support your training.

Thanks for sticking with me!

Cheers,
Alex

Important Update from NZ HEMA Supplies!

First off, a huge apology for the delay in restocking some of our popular products. The ongoing situation in Ukraine has made getting some items a bit challenging. To add to that, the bank decided to hold a payment for three weeks to ensure it wasn't heading to Russia due to the sanctions. I’m doing my best to navigate these obstacles and appreciate your patience.

But it's not all bad news! I've got not one but TWO orders on the way from Regenyei, each packed with about 20 shiny new swords. So, if you've been eyeing that perfect blade, keep an eye on my page—your next favorite sword might just be in this shipment!

In other exciting news, I’m exploring new suppliers to bring even more variety to the store. I’ve been reaching out, and while some are eager to join the NZ HEMA Supplies family, others have politely declined. But rest assured, the range is set to keep growing! If you have any suggestions for brands or products you'd love to see, let me know—I’m all ears!

Lastly, a massive THANK YOU for your continued support. Your passion for HEMA keeps me motivated, and I can’t wait to equip you with more top-notch gear.

Stay sharp!
