Practical rapier, 109 cm blade

Several weapons for the Renaissance fencer come from hanwei, such as the rapier hilt and cup-hilt.
&Nbsp;
For the Schlaeger rapiers, Hanwei used the popular swept-hilt handles and designed them to hold Schlaeger blades with a length of approx. 94 cm (item number SH1099) and approx. 109 cm (item number SH1098). These tapered blades offer exceptional balance compared to the traditional cylindrical Schlaeger blades. This makes the sword much faster. Hanwei's Renaissance-style rapiers have their origins in early 17th-century Europe, where rapier fencing was an essential part of men's training and was often used to settle disputes between nobles. Typically, blades from forging centres in Toledo or Solingen were fitted with handles by regional blacksmiths, leading to many different designs.

It was the so-called main gauche, like a fencing dagger or companion dagger for left-handed people. It was often used in conjunction with the rapier. On the one hand, daggers allow for better defense against attacking swords, but at the same time they also offer the possibility of a quick counterattack. The fencing schools that proliferated in Europe taught fencing with two corresponding weapons. The style and design of the left-handed rapier was often adapted from the rapier, adopting its features to increase its effectiveness.

Replacement blades, both sharp and blunt, are available for most rapiers and main rapiers.
