Two Ring Rapier
Two Ring Rapier
This rapier is based on a rather more elaborate antique, but the basic form is pretty much perfection. Slender and elegant, the steel hilt is composed of bars with a diamond cross section and slight swellings at the centers of various arced segments.
It is mounted with a 37" Hanwei Practice Rapier blade (purple background photos), but it can also be mounted with their lighter, thinner blade (as seen in blue-background photos). The grip is 3D printed solid ABS plastic wrapped in twisted steel wire with brass turk's head knots. The pommel is threaded 6x1mm.
Overall weight is 2.41 lbs, and the POB is 1/2" in front of the guard. The sword is 43.75" long overall.
If you like this hilt and are interested in having it mounted with a different blade, please contact me.
