Lobed Cup Hilt 3 -- Blued Hilt [BLUNT/SHARP]
This rapier hilt features a heavily perforated 8-lobe cup reinforced with swept side bars. The quillions and knucklebow have ovoid bead details. The cup secures to the arms of the guard with screws. The guard is laser sintered 316L stainless steel.
The mild steel pommel is threaded 6×1mm. The grip is PETG covered in antiqued brass wire.
The sword is shown in the first set of photos with a blunt Hanwei rapier blade for stage combat.
