Knife only, sword NOT included.
 
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 Main Gauche, or left hand dagger, was often used with the rapier, providing an added dimension in both offense and defense, and the “Schools of Fence” which proliferated in Europe during this period taught the use of the two weapons in combination. The Main Gauche would often match the Rapier in styling, while incorporating features which maximized the effectiveness of the piece. The brown cord wrapped grip is comfortable in the hand and leaves enough space to wear fencing gloves if desired.
 
The blade is constructed with a 3/4 tang, 1566 spring steel, through tempered for toughness and edge holding characteristics.  The pommel and cross guard are made from strong and easy maintenance stainless steel, with a tight cord wrapped grip for extra strength.
