Product description
This replica sword is based on historical swords from the 16th and 17th centuries. The rapier evolved in the Renaissance. The rapier with its elegant shapes is the weapon of the musketeers.

The rapier is delivered including a leather scabbard. The blade is forged from 1065 carbon steel and tempered to a hardness of 48-52 HRC. A beautiful decorative sword for on the wall or for your historical costume. If you blunten the blade, it's a great training sword for sword fighting or for Historical European Martial Arts.

This item is produced in limited quantities only. This means that every piece is unique. Sizes & finish may vary lightly from piece to piece.
Prevent rust and corrosion by oiling your weapons regularly. Remove rust easily with black sandpaper. Remove burrs with a whetstone. Make sure you have removed all burrs before using a battle-ready weapon, as they can cause wounds.
Maintenance & care
Just as with weaponry, you can care for your shoes and leatherware by applying a little Ballistol after cleaning. This prevents the leather from drying out.
Tip: How to adjust the finish of your armour and weaponry
Luxurious (polished)- polish the steel with metal polish or toothpaste. You can even give the item a mirror-like polish. Test on a small surface first!
Handmade (matte)- soak the steel in cola for 40 minutes to 20 hours. Check regularly and treat with black sandpaper.
Antique (patinated) leave the steel to rust for some time in a damp environment, preferably outside. Remove the red layer of rust, to reveal the corroded top layer.
