Beautifully crafted and fully functional for historical fencing and training. Blade is well tempered and flexible. Tapered from forte to tip to provide excellent balance and speed. Unsharpened edges and integral button tip for safety. A fantastic rapier, extremely attractive and meant for use. Available with either a 43" or 37" blade. (Photographs above are the 37" model.) The 43" blades are relatively flexible, the 37" blades are relatively stiff.
update August 2011: the 37" blade practical rapiers are sold out and unavailable right now (the factory had a fire earlier this year and stocks are depeleted). The 43" blades are still available.
Price: $145 (with 43" blade)
