Swept Hilt Rapier

Beneath the glow of a flickering lantern, your hand finds the familiar contours of the swept hilt rapier—the choice of the discerning duelist. The night air hums with the anticipation of the encounter, as cobblestones echo the muted steps of those who understand the language of blades. The moonlight casts long shadows, turning the alley into a stage set for a ballet of precision and grace. Tonight, like so many before, the air will be sliced by the song of steel, a melody played on the ribs of foes unworthy to face its master. Here, in this moment, with the grip settled against your palm and the weight of destiny tilting at your fingertips, you are more than a mere participant in this dance. You are the conductor of a deadly symphony, every motion a note struck in the key of survival and honor.

Real Bone Grip

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. Due to popular demand this piece returns as a part of the Windlass Classics for anyone who missed the opportunity to add this rapier to their collection.

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.
