Paul Chen Bell Rapier Mug

This so-called Spanish estoque (also called bell estoque or cup estoque - English cup-hilt estoque) combined style with effectiveness in 17th century Europe and was long praised as the pinnacle of rapier design. The bell and pommel of the finest examples were decorated with beautiful openwork designs. In the cup estoque presented here, Hanwei’s founder Paul Chen has replicated these down to the last detail and combined them with an elegantly tapered carbon steel blade. It owes its name to the French, who called this particular style à la taza .

A leather-covered sheath is included.
