Product description
During the Renaissance, the sword became increasingly a secondary weapon, alongside the gun. The blades grew narrower with a sharper tip, and the basket hilt became widespread. The ricasso also grew ever more popular and was frequently employed. One of the best-known Renaissance swords was the rapier, which was used principally as a duelling and fashion weapon. This slender sword came into use around 1470.
The rapier is crafted after 16th-century originals. It features a decorative basket, a wooden grip with steel wire, and is supplied complete with a black leather scabbard with metal fittings.
