Description

Built for re-enactments, ceremonies, and display, this authentic high quality steel Musketeer Epee Rapier Fencing Sword is a very exceptional sword. Fencing was a common skill taught to males as they became men. During the 1600's and 1700's men fought to the death in rapier duels, making fencing a necessary part of life. It is a quick blade, and this particular rapier is double the width of the standard rapier, making it an Epee, or Musketeer rapier. It is a strong, swift sword that has been proven as a successful weapon of it's time.
The 1 Inch wide blade is made of a solid piece of high quality steel, with a factory edge. It is not sharp from the factory, but it can be made sharp if you so desire it to be. The blade is polished to an exquisite mirror finish and oiled to protect the high performance steel from moisture and environment variables. This is not just a regular rapier, but a powerful Musketeer Rapier replica that was actually designated to the Musketeers for it's excessive past achievements. The mirror polished guard completely surrounds the handle. This will assure you that your hand is protected with high quality steel. The wire wrapped handle holds a firm grip and is fixed solid to the tang of the blade. The tang travels all the way through to the pommel, which is also mirror polished high quality steel. The weighted pommel provides a sense of balance to the sword. Included is a full metal Musketeer sheath. The fittings are polished down and the mid section is wrapped in black leather. Only a true hand made Musketeer Epee Rapier Fencing Sword can outperform a rapier in a fencing duel.
