Fencing in the Renaissance style plays a prominent part in historical re-enactment combining the quickness of light blades with the structure and spirit of the duel.
Designed for the rapier fencer with a preference for the cup-hilt style who wishes to spar in safety, our Practical Cup-hilt Rapier fits the bill perfectly.
The rapier blade is similar in design to the practical blades for the swept-hilts but the length of the teng is adapted for the cup-hilt.

The steel is untreated and may have rust. To protect the steel you may rub it with mineral or synthetic oil.
The scabbard is designed for shipping not for storing so we suggest you not to keep the blade in the scabbard for long periods of time because metal can be rusted.
No returns will be accepted due to these issues
