Hanwei Taza-Cup Hilt Rapier (SH2035)
This traditional design from Hanwei is one of the most elaborate rapiers available. Long extolled as the pinnacle of rapier design, the Spanish Rapier (or Cup-Hilt Rapier) undoubtedly combined style and function very effectively in 17th century Europe. The very best of these weapons featured beautifully pierced cups and pommels like this one. Hanwei has replicated these to perfection and combined them with an elegantly tapered high-carbon steel blade in this Taza Rapier (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 Main Gauche (SWD5463) again features a pierced guard and pommel in the same design as the rapier, with a fileworked blade in the Spanish style. A leather scabbard and belt frog for the Main Gauche are included.
