Swept Basket Hilt Rapier – Deepeeka

This Swept Basket Hilt Rapier has a blade forged from high carbon steel which is mounted into a complex hilt which is crafted from nickel-plated brass for a brilliant and shining finish. The wooden grip has been thoroughly overlaid with a steel wire binding. Included with the sword is a companion scabbard of robust leather coupled with a steel locket and chape.

This rapier shows the evolution of the swept hilt rapier beginning to coalesce into a more enclosed, basket-like form – a form which would be used for a number of later swords with hilts that were significantly more enclosed than the simpler hilt forms the the medieval and early Renaissance. Such additional protection was needed as these weapons were primarily for civilian self-defense and much of the civilian swordsmanship of the time favored thrusting rapier swords with techniques which allowed a fighter to strike a blow from a significant distance.

    To say is was worth its weight in gold is an understatement. Excellent for just about anything including sparing. HIGHLY RECCOMMENDED.

    Very nice rapier for the price, the sword itself is a 5 star, the scabbard is a 2 star, it looks ok and will protect the sword when not in use, but it is to flemsy. As for the sword, it is as nice as you see in the pictures, the blade is pretty stiff but flexes well, all parts fit together for a very solid sword. For the price I expected to find many faults to spout about, the only con is the gap between the blade and hilt as with most swords you buy, I’ll fill the gap with jb weld epoxy putty . There arre some very slight cosmetic flaws not worth mentioning, this is a low dollar sword, I dont own a sword that looks and feels any better in quality of this sword, balance could be better, but all in all this a great sword for the money.
