Product information "Renaissance Rapier"
This Swept-Hilt Rapier features classical lines, with a high-carbon steel flex-tempered blade,
a stainless steel hilt (for reduced maintenance) and a hardwood grip.
The hilt is of the same size as the museum piece on which it is based, providing an authentic “feel” in the user’s hand and weight and balance also match originals.
The Renaissance-style Rapiers trace their origins to early 17th century Europe, where swordplay with the Rapier was considered an essential part of a gentleman’s education and was often used in resolving gentlemanly disagreements.
Blades generally originated in one of the blade making centers such as Toledo or Solingen, but many differences in styling and hilt materials resulted from the local manufacture of hilts all over Europe.
Key Features:
* historical design
* Steel basket
* Rigid scabbard
For this Rapier a replacement blade is available # 13674

Overall length: 113.67 cm
Blade length: 93.6 cm
Blade thickness: 0.61 to 0.25 cm (from guard to tip)

Sehr schön gefertigter Rapier, vor allem natürlich der Edelstahlkorb. Die Klinge ist für einen Rapier doch recht flexibel. Die Scheide ist ebenfalls sauber verarbeitet und passgenau.

sehr sehr schönes teil. der griff ist ein echtes highlight und die verarbeitung ist klasse. die dünne klinge ist überraschend stabil und "schwabbelt" nicht rum - geiles teil!
