Classical Rapier
Exceptional not only for its exquisite
beauty, this rapier is reproduced from an original in the collection
of Hank Reinhardt. This sword shows off one of the more graceful
and sublime designs from a period when no two swords were made
exactly alike. (There were often tremendous differences between
rapiers because of varying amounts of skill of the blade maker,
the hilt maker, and the cutler who assembled them.) This particular
swept-hilt design, which is truly a work-of-art, was in use for
over a hundred years. This light, fast and quick rapier uses a
high carbon steel blade. It is supplied with a black leather scabbard
and we recommend any of our rapier
carriers or frogs, featured in our leather accessories section,
for correct dress and carry. Click here
