Product description

In the Renaissance the sword became more and more a second weapon beside the gun or the pistol. The blades became slimmer, a hilt became more usual than a cross-guard and the point was sharper for good stabbing.

The ricasso, an unpolished part of the blade, became more popular and was often used. One of the most well-known Renaissance swords was the rapier, which was mainly used as a duel and fashion sword. This slim sword already originated in 1470 and changed in a fast stabbing weapon without cutting edges.

This rapier is delivered including a scabbard. A similar model was used in a lot of Christian kingdoms around the 16th century, like Austria of Emperor Maximilian. Its length is 112 cm, it has a blade with a length of 88 cm and its width is 3 cm. It weighs 1,2 kg.
