Renaissance Swords and Daggers: Elegant, Fashionable and Deadly

The beauty and charm of The Renaissance forever changed swords. As the popularity of dueling and fencing grew, Noblemen felt the need to carry a sword at all times. With the sword now becoming a fashion accessory, enlarged guards became more ornate. Curving hand protection, finger-rings, and thinner blade designs evolved.

When you compare rapier swords to cut-and-thrust swords, compound-hilt swords and renaissance daggers, it's easy to see the unique characteristics of each. Today we can offer you a grand selection of quality replica Renaissance swords and daggers made from your choice of functional steel or display-quality stainless steel. Many of these swords are crafted using designs which are meticulously detailed after the originals and make great gifts for reenactors or collectors.
