Rapier Description

The rapier sword is a loose term for a type of slender, sharply pointed sword. The rapier is optimized to be a thrusting weapon, but can also be used for cutting or slashing. While some rapiers are only sharpened at the tip, this rapier is sharpened throughout the length of the sword.  Rapiers have a complex hilt to protect the hand. Some historians classify the rapier as a type of broadsword or saber. While the rapier was first created in Spain in the 15th centurty, it did not become a European mainstay until the Early Modern Europe during the 16th and 17th centuries.  The purpose of the one handed sword, as opposed to the two handed longsword, was to use one hand for the sword and the other for use of another weapon such as a dagger or pistol. In this way, the rapier is akin to the gladius sword of Roman times where foot soldiers used the short gladius in one hand with a shield on the other.  The rapier became extremely fashionable throughout Europe with the wealthier classes, but was not without its detractors. Some people, such as George Silver (the English writer known for his works on swordplay), disapproved of its technical potential and the dueling use to which it was put. In modern times, the rapier has taken the form of the fencing foil, used in competition. There are many historical schools of rapier fencing, many still in existance, that were founded in the 16th century that are scattered throughout Europe. The modern form of the fencing rapier, similar to the style of this 47" rapier, was first established in 1885.

Greatest X-MAS Gift Ever!!!!

I got it as a Christmas gift for my brother-in-law along with the Mask Of Zorro movie in 4K because he's a movie buff and collector. As he was opening it, all he was saying was no way no way, and in his words, the greatest Christmas gift of all time.
