Product description

An impressive rapier by Windlass Steelcrafts, crafted after historical swords from the 17th century. Such rapiers were used primarily for duelling. Aristocrats wore rapiers chiefly as a fashion object. A rapier such as this would have conferred considerable prestige upon its owner in the 17th century. The sublime basket of this rapier is constructed from swept and twisted steel. The beautiful black horn grip with steel wire spirals emphasises the twisted steel of the basket, whilst also sitting comfortably in the hand during sword fighting. The pommel likewise consists of twisted shapes. The basket protects the hand during a duel. The ricasso is beautifully engraved with classicist art motifs in Renaissance style. This replica rapier is supplied complete with a scabbard. The semi-sharp blade is forged from tempered 1065 carbon steel with a hardness of 48–52 HRC. A fine sword for display on the wall and for sword collectors, and equally well-suited to a Three Musketeers cosplay costume or reenactment of the Medici and other aristocratic families. Once the blade has been blunted, it may be employed as a training sword and for Historical European Martial Arts.
