This left-handed rapier trainer is well balanced for modern HEMA training. It is light in the hand at 950g, but retains a characterful blade presence. This is balanced out with a solid pommel, creating a nice central rotation. Evocative of heavier rapiers in the way it moves, but without the weight behind it, its tip can readily find the line.
It is decorated in line with our Black Ribbon suite, featuring a scallop-carved double shell guard, straight flat-section quillons with carved acanthus detailing to the terminals, and scallop carving to the pommel. The oak grip is wrapped in linen thread and oxblood red kidskin, and the blade features a single central fuller to the first quarter.
Please note: this sword is sold as seen. If you are inspired to create your own design, please contact us to discuss a custom commission.
