Hanwei Taza Main Gauche (SH2137)
This traditional design from Hanwei is one of the most elaborate Main Gauche available. Long extolled as the pinnacle of design, the Spanish Rapier (or Cup-Hilt Rapier) undoubtedly combined style and function very effectively in 17th century Europe and this matching Main Gauche is perfect. The very best of these weapons featured beautifully pierced guards like this one. Hanwei has replicated these to perfection and combined them with an elegantly tapered high-carbon steel blade in this Taza Main Gauche (the name comes from the French, who called this style: a la Taza). A leather-covered rapier scabbard is included.

Also available is the matching Taza Cup Hilt Rapier (SWD5462) again features a pierced guard and pommel in the same design as the Main Gauche, with a fileworked blade in the Spanish style. A leather scabbard and belt frog for the rapiers are included.
