Product description
This Renaissance rapier harks back to the early 17th century, when fencing with the rapier was part of a gentleman's education. The blades were often forged in Toledo or Solingen, while the hilts were made throughout Europe.
The approximately 94 cm long blade is forged from 1566 carbon steel. The cross-guard, quillons and pommel are made of matte black coated stainless steel; the grip is wrapped with brown cord and provides space for fencing gloves. The rapier is delivered disassembled, including a key to secure the pommel and grip, and with scabbard.
This weapon is intended for collectors, as decoration and as a historical accessory for re-enactment and living history. The blade is not suitable for combat or sparring.
