Paul Chen's Solingen Rapier, old version

The swept-hilt rapier —a rapier with a basket handle or locking handle—by Hanwei (art. SH2205) with classic lines. The blade is made of flexible, hardened carbon steel. To ensure low maintenance, the handle is made of stainless steel. A special guard can serve as a blade catcher, and the handle is wrapped with twisted wire. Since the blade was made to the exact same size as the original 17th-century German model, it offers an authentic feel and is identical to the original in terms of weight and balance.

In this antique version of the Solingen rapier, the vessel obtains its antique appearance through a method developed by Hanwei that gives the stainless steel a museum-quality patina without compromising its corrosion resistance. This attractive finish gives the sword an authentic appearance. The blade can be exchanged for the Hanwei blunt training blade (item no. OH2255), which was designed for confident rapier combat.

A matching left-handed dagger is also available (item no. sh2208n) and can also be equipped with a combat blade.
