Saxon Style Rapier & Dagger [SHARP]
Saxon Style Rapier & Dagger [SHARP]
This sword was inspired by a number of Saxon-style rapiers and military swords. The relatively short blade is sometimes known as a “spada”. The ambidextrous 2-ring hilt is cold-blued steel. The pommel is etched with a blued lower half and a polished dome.
The grip is solid PETG with with black leather and nickel plated brass ferrules. The tang extends through the pommel and secures with a nut.
The hollow ground blade was made by Balefire Blades from thick 8mm stock. The blade was supplied “nearly sharp” and I put the edge on it.

45” Overall Length
39” Blade Length
POB: +4.5” from quillions
The matching dagger has a 12” long fullered blade, and its hilt details match the rapier. Scabbard is leather over wood with steel and nickel silver fittings.
