The rapier began as a lengthy cut-and-thrust sword and evolved into a lighter more specialized thrusting weapon. It was characterized by it's complex hilt and long slender blade. Early rapier designs, such as the lightweight side-ring, were derived from the shorter and heavier side-sword.
Our double-ring rapier adds a second larger ring with an optional counter guard to the design for greater hand protection while still remaining light and versatile. It is an industry standard for stage combat rapier technique and pairs perfectly with any of our daggers.
