This is an absolutely beautiful rapier to look at, as well as to hold in ones hand. But for all it’s beauty, it is still a very functional design with a good weight to balance ratio. The scabbard was not forgotten either with elegant engraving on the locket and chape to match the beauty of the sword. I have used this sword in martial combat on several occasions and it has held up well to actual blade on blade contact. This is a well crafted sword that will offer an SCA or HEMA fencer plenty of service life. But where this sword really shines is its use as an accoutrement to a well crafted renaissance persona at any faire.
