A classic HEMA training rapier, this sword combines a low weight with a longer point of balance, resulting in a pleasing degree of blade presence despite being light in the hand. Swift to attack and recover, this sword also has the mass and presence to excel in the bind.
As part of our Black Ribbon series, it features matte blackened furniture with flat-section bars forming a two-port right-handed guard with a hand-carved finger shell. The hollow pommel features hand-carved swirling lines. The oak grip is wrapped in linen thread and oxblood-red kidskin.
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.
