Deschaux Rapier Sword by Windlass Steelcraft® New
Circa 1590
With its graceful, artistic lines, the rapier has always been a romantic symbol of the Renaissance. The reality is that the rapier is a very deadly hand-to-hand combat weapon, perfectly suited for the swift moves of the duelists of the day. Many hilt forms were tried early on like this three ringed swept hilt. The grip is bone, with a wire wrapping, making for a very secure grip. This is a light, fast and deadly sword with a classical design. Made by Windlass Steelcrafts®. Includes scabbard. Sword is made of a 1085 high carbon steel and the handle is of camel bone.
Overall: 46"
Blade: 39" long, 3⁄4" wide, 3⁄16" thick
