CAS Hanwei Practical Rapier 43-Inch Blade Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Since it arrived, I've used the Practical Rapier for historical recreation fencing, and been very pleased with it. The fit and finish is great for the price, and makes it unjust to label this an "Entry Level" product.

The Schlaeger Rapiers utilize a popular swept hilt. These tapered blades provide a superior balance compared to the traditional parallel-sided schlaegers, making for a faster sword. Our Renaissance-style Rapiers trace their origins to early 17th century Europe, where swordplay with the Rapier was considered an essential part of a gentleman's education and was often used in resolving gentlemanly disagreements. Blades generally originated in one of the blade making centers such as Toledo or Solingen, but many differences in styling and hilt materials resulted from the local manufacture of hilts all over Europe.

The Side Sword was a military sword of the 16th and 17th century Renaissance period that also achieved popularity among civilians, due to its relatively light weight and quickness. It also had an advantage over its contemporary, the rapier, in having the ability to cut efficiently as well as thrust. Side swords were often the weapon of choice for sword and buckler fighting. Our side sword, based on a German original, is a beautifully proportioned piece that balances very well. The 'swept" hilt affords excellent hand protection and the blade geometry makes for outstanding performance in both the cut and the thrust.
