A nicely balanced, light and fast swept-hilt rapier by Paul Chen / Hanwei. This is an
excellent rapier - if you've been disappointed in the past by clunky, ill-balanced
"rapier like objects" sold by indiscriminating sword merchants as "genuine battle ready
renaissance rapiers!", this is the rapier for you. It will make you appreciate the speed
and efficiency of what rapiers were/were meant to be. Really sweet, excellent handling.
Also available is a matching bone-hilted main
gauche.
Price: $225
