Product description
During the Renaissance, the sword increasingly became a secondary weapon alongside the gun or pistol. Blades grew slimmer, hilts replaced cross-guards, and points grew sharper for quick stabbing.
The ricasso — an unpolished section of the blade — grew in popularity and saw frequent use. Among the most well-known Renaissance swords, the rapier stands out as a dueling and fashion sword. Originating around 1470, this slim sword evolved into a fast stabbing weapon with no cutting edges.
This 17th-century rapier saw use across many Christian countries. It measures 112 cm overall, with a blade 95 cm long and 3 cm wide. It weighs just 1,259 g.
