Swept Hilt Rapier

This swept hilt rapier was quite popular in the late 16th and early 17th centuries. Our version is hand forged by the skilled artisans at Windlass Steelcrafts and has a blade of high carbon steel with a diamond cross section. This gives the blade firmness, yet allowing it to be flexible in action. The all steel guard and ornate pommel are accented with a real bleached, polished bone grip. Includes a full leather scabbard with steel throat and shoe. This was one of our most popular rapiers for a number of years and was retired over 6 years ago. We are proud to bring back this elegant sword by popular demand for a limited time as one of our Windlass Classics. NOTE: Bone is a natural product and may have slight variations from the photo shown, giving each handle a unique “one of a kind” finish.
