Epic Armoury’s Rapier is a medium latex sword inspired by European medieval weapons. The sword is 85 cm long and has a 70 cm straight double-edged blade with a central ridge. The crossguard curves toward the blade to trap incoming strikes, protecting a 10 cm detailed handle with metal embellishments and real leather wrapped around the grip.
Whether you are a nobleman or a valiant musketeer, this Rapier is our highest quality gear due to its impressive durability and detail. The blade is made from closed cell foam around a fibreglass core and finished with a strong latex coating, while the handle is a polyurethane foam cast that allows for greater detail and no maintenance. This next generation model sword will make you confident in the safety and appeal of your weapon on the battlefield.
All latex-coated weapons need a certain degree of maintenance. For this we recommend using maintenance silicone which can be purchased separately. Epic Armoury Maintenance Silicone is an easy, spray-on application, 100% pure and acid-free making it safe to apply. We recommend using Maintenance Silicone on a regular basis. It maintains the latex-coats flexibility and prevents it from drying out, keeping the product wear and tear resistant.
Store your latex weapons flat or on its pommel–NEVER on its tip. Use a simple sheet or towel lining to prevent it from touching a plastic or rubber surface to prevent your weapon from adhering to other products. Keep your weapons in a cool, dry environment.
Please Note: Handpainted Item – Color of weapon, including blade may vary

ignore that other guy, this thing is great. and early rapiers, sometimes called sideswords, did often look just like this (if a tiny bit slimmer, but those are steel and this is not so I understand the extra material for structure)
a great prop that, so far, has held up to a fair amount of light use.

This sword is honestly perfect for what I needed it for! I wanted a more side sword look over the intricate and dainty rapier aesthetic for my costume and this is exactly that.
The detail work is beautiful and it fits comfortably in my hand. The blade is a little thick which makes the balance of the sword feel just a touch awkward (it’s honestly not that bad but I’m sure some are picky about those things) but keeping in mind that it is made with the intention of larp use, it seems like it would be perfectly padded for delivering blows.
It’s gorgeous and I know I’m going to get plenty of use out of it personally.
