Product information "Ribbed Shell Swept Hilt Rapier"

The new Ribbed Shell Swept Hilt Rapier from Cold Steel with an overall length of approx 128 cm. This rapier is made from 1055 Carbon steel. A leather scabbard with steel fittings is within the scope of supply.

According to most historians the Rapier first appeared on the sword scene in the late 14th century and held sway in most of Europe until the late 16th century except in Spain where it endured clear into the 18th century. The reason for its long reign as the civilian weapon of choice for self-defense and duelling can be tied to its two major advantages.

First its long, slim, double edged blade was ideal for delivering point oriented blows at a great distance while still being able to deliver a stinging cut. And secondly, its continually evolving hilt of rings, bars, quillions, shells and eventually, an intricately chiseled cup offered excellent protection (especially now that the armoured gauntlet had been abandoned) and shed, caught or deflected blows at the sword hand and forearm with great aplomb.

Sadly, while never proven ineffective or obsolete, the rapier eventually succumbed to the dictates of fashion and gave way to the emerging small sword. Happily Cold Steel has chosen to revive the Rapier with our own interpretation designed by Dave Baker. The long, narrow blade is fully sharpened and beautifully polished with a single wide fuller at the forte to assure perfect balance. The hilt also reflects the best in craftsmanship and materials fashioned from stainless steel featuring a classic ribbed shell and multiple bars, quillions and knuckle bow for unparalleled hard protection. The grip itself is made of wood covered with rich black ray skin and decorative wire and terminates in a heavy ribbed pommel that serves as a counter balance to our Rapier's long blade.

This sword fits to the Ribbed Shell Rapier Companion Dagger # 13851.

Light Cavalry Saber

This saber was widely used by the British and their Prussian allies under General Blucher in the Battle of Waterloo. The blade´s profile was derived from the ferocious Indian Talwar and was reviled by the French who strongly protested its use due to the horribly destructive wounds it inflicted. In fact, this saber was so successful as a cutting weapon, that the German Cavalry continued to use it right up to the beginning of the Twentieth century! If you want a combat quality saber that will pass the British Proof Test and is fully capable of shearing off arms and even legs with a single blow, this is a must have! It comes fully sharpened with your choice of a wood and leather scabbard with steel mounts and fittings or an all metal scabbard. Specifications: Weight: 957.6 g Thick: 0.79 cm Blade: 83.82 cm Handle: 12.07 cm Steel: 1055 High Carbon Overall: 95.89 cm Scabbard: All Steel Scabbard Version Wood/ Leather Scabbard with Steel Fittings Version

Two handed great Sword

Our Two Handed Great Sword is the biggest sword we make. But don´t let its size fool you, as there is nothing awkward or clumsy about this awesome sword. Sure it´s big and meant to be carried over the shoulder instead of in a scabbard, but it´s extremely well balanced and easily wielded by people of larger stature and physical strength. Weighing 3104.33 g with a 101.28 cm high carbon steel blade, it will make short work of pikemen or swordsmen and will prove equally effective against modern rifle butts and bayonets. To protect the hands from opposing weapons, it features a large guard with side rings plus integral parrying hooks that allow the blade to be shortened for close range slashing and stabbing attacks. The handle is made of wood and covered with leather and is extra long to afford a full two handed grip. What´s more, it´s capped by a heavy steel pommel that helps counter balance its long blade and serves as an effective weapon in its own right. Each sword comes fully sharpened and battle ready and we´re sure you will be thrilled with its fantastic fit and finish. If you´re looking for the ultimate in big performance oriented swords, your search is over. Specifications: Weight: 3066 g Thick: 0.56 cm Blade: 101.28 cm Handle: 39.05 cm Leather Wrapped Steel: 1055 High Carbon Overall: 140.34 cm
