Windlass Deschaux Rapier

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 bone grip is wire wrapped, making for a very secure grip. This is a light, fast and deadly sword with a classical design. Scabbard included. Made by Windlass Steelcrafts.
