17th Century Rapier - Stage Ready Sword

Stage raedy rapiers have to meet different requirements from battle-ready rapiers. In order to minimise the risk of injury from cuts and thrusts during staged fencing weapons, this silver stage combat rapier has back edges that are at least 3 mm thick everywhere and it even has a flattened point.

It weighs a little less than a kilogram, so our silver stage ready rapier is light and highly manageable. Good balance is not the only characteristic that makes this stage ready rapier manageable – its grip is also very important. Because it is wrapped with both smooth and braided silver-coloured wire, it is especially comfortable to grasp. The delicate knuckle bow and finger guard give this stage ready rapier a graceful, romantic look and also provide finger protection when a technique requires them to be placed above the crossguard.

It includes a leather scabbard with a silver-coloured mount and chape.
