Hanwei Bone Handled Swept Hilt Rapier by Paul Chen
The Bone Handled Swept Hilt Rapiers is based on rapiers of the early 17th century Europe. During this period the Rapier was considered an essential part of a gentleman's education and was often used in resolving gentlemanly disagreements.
The Bone Handled Swept Hilt Rapier have now been redesigned to provide lighter and better balance than earlier models. This rapier blade is interchangeable with the “Practical” blades (OH2255 - rapier), which are designed for safety in rapier sparring. This gives the user a choice of swept hilt styles for use with both live and “Practical” blades. A replacement live blade is also available (OH2327).
