Channel the elegance and lethality of the Renaissance with this Swept-Hilt Rapier, a refined and battle-ready reproduction of the iconic 16th–17th century dueling sword. Forged from 1095 high carbon steel, this rapier is more than a display piece—it's a fully functional blade built for precision, strength, and historical accuracy.
The hallmark of this weapon is its intricate swept-hilt guard, featuring protective bars and loops designed to shield the hand during lightning-fast thrusts and parries. The long, slender blade is optimized for thrusting attacks—the signature of civilian fencing and noble duels—while maintaining just enough width for defensive deflections and blade engagement.
Crafted for collectors, stage combatants, and martial artists, the blade’s 1095 steel composition (0.95% carbon content) provides excellent edge retention and hardness, rated at 56–58 HRC. The hilt features a traditionally styled grip wrapped for control and a pommel designed for balance and maneuverability.
The rapier emerged in 16th-century Europe as a weapon of precision and style. Carried by nobles and fencing masters alike, it became the centerpiece of civilian self-defense and personal honor. The swept-hilt design, particularly popular in Spain and Italy, offered superior hand protection and evolved into one of the most recognizable forms in historical fencing.

Shipping times refer to carrier transit time after an item ships. They do not include production time, custom work, engraving, etching, or other preparation time before shipment.
In-stock items typically ship within 1 to 4 business days, though this can occasionally take longer during high-volume periods or for items requiring extra handling. Engraving or etching on in-stock items may add 1 to 3 business days before shipment.
Custom, engraved, altered, made-to-order, backordered, and specialty items (including armor and chess sets) may require additional production time before they ship. Fully custom items typically take 4 to 8 weeks, but complex requests may take longer depending on the design, materials, approvals, and production requirements.
