Rapiers & Main-Gauches

The Renaissance's most popular weapon, the rapier, developed its own distinct fighting style, which is the precursor to modern sport fencing. Often accompanied by a main-gauche or left-hand dagger, the rapier was a formidable sword in the hands of a skilled blade wielder. Our rapiers are excellent fencing swords, made of high-carbon steel and able to withstand the rigors of training, stage combat, and re-enactment; they also remain light enough for quick, agile use. Our rapiers by Hanwei are the standard fencing blades of several fighting schools and fencing training centers!
