Windlass Swept Hilt Rapier
This swept hilt rapier was quite popular in the late 16th and early 17th centuries. This 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. More information...
