Swept Hilt Rapier

$1,500.00

A sword fabled through stage and story. The Three Musketeers, Zorro, The Princess bride and even Shakesapeare have used this iconic weapons imagery, that for many, defines a particular time period……..The Reneissance. Used mostly as a civilian weapon the rapier was at the cutting edge of self defense, fashion, and, of course, duelling. This rapier has been made with those three ideals firmly in mind, and what has come of that is a sword that dominates the centre line, allowing you to really apply the techniques and mathmatical and geometric advantages that the sword masters of the time, teach in their manuscripts.
