Several weapons for the Renaissance fencer come from hanwei, such as the rapier hilt and cup-hilt.
&nbsp;<. br>For the schlaeger rapiers, hanwei used the popular swept-hilt handles and designed them to have schlaeger blades with a length of approx. 94 cm (item number hn-sh1099) and approx. 109 cm (item number hn-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 provided with handles by regional blacksmiths, leading to many different designs.

The so-called main gauche was often used in conjunction with the rapier, as a fencing dagger or as a fencing dagger. Companion dagger for left-handed people, used. 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-hand 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.
