A beautifully executed 17th Century Italian rapier with a very complex hilt and faceted pommel. The grip is hand wound with silver plated wire with woven wire rings top and bottom. The hand forged, high carbon steel, fully tempered blade features a wide fuller to lighten and strengthen it for thrusting and the heavy ricasso provides extra strength to the main stress area. Top quality, genuine leather scabbard with deeply engraved floral pattern on the throat and tip. This type of sword was deadly effective as a dueling weapon.

"Magnificent sword. So impressive to hold." - William (5/5)
"it's little heavier than expected but great balance in rounds and super sharp" - john (5/5)
"In general I'm quite happy with it although the fuller is not straight, there were a couple burrs on the swept hilt and the sharpening was brutally uneven." - Connors (4/5)
"The handle is a tad slippery without gloves, but it doesn't impede the use of it too much. Very pointy, though a bit too flexible. The fit with the crossguard isn't the tightest, but it's not bad. You can see the connections on the swept hilt, I would have rathered it to be ground out better. I was a bit surprised that the sheath is completely leather, no wood core. Very nimble feel. Overall, nice piece." - Heather (4/5)
"The sword was excellent. More than I imaged. And, I was particularly impressed that it was made by Windlass Steelcraft. The video of their sword production process was quite impressive." - Ronald (5/5)
"I am very pleased by this sword. It is well made, light, well balanced and feels like an extension of the arm." - Douglas (5/5)
"I purchased this as a gift for my husband and he loves it!!" - Patricia (5/5)
