The Italian Fencing Rapier or Rapier Sword was used during the sport of fencing which has existed since ancient Egypt. Many cultures developed their own forms of sword fighting throughout the centuries. These are the weapons used mainly in England, Italy, France and Spain.
The first weapon is the rapier sword. It was a 16th century sword with an edged, thick blade used primarily as a thrusting weapon. Sometimes the rapier sword had ornate hilts, used to catch an opponent's blade while the off hand used another weapon to finish the fight, similar to our Italian Fencing Rapier. It had been used in military battle, but it became more popular for civilians to use for self-defense.
Our version of the Italian Fencing Rapier has an overall length of 45 inches and a 38 inch hand polished stainless steel double edge that is perfectly balanced with an ornate basket handguard detailing. It is accompanied with a black leather covered hardwood sheath.
