Rapier Solingen
This Swept-Hilt Rapier made by Hanwei features classical lines, with a high carbon steel flex-tempered blade, a stainless steel hilt (for reduced maintenance) with blade catcher-quillons and a twisted-wire grip. The hilt is of the same size as the 17th century German piece on which it is based, providing an authentic feel in the user's hand, and the weight and balance also match the original.
