Though beautiful to behold, this rapier is crafted from high-quality, durable materials, ready for action. It has been carefully constructed with an emphasis on safety and excellent performance in LARP battles.

Features and Appearance You Will Appreciate

This LARP rapier measures 110 cm in overall length and weighs approximately 490 g, providing excellent balance for swift and precise handling. The blade is made from a softer yet resilient foam (25 Ashore density) and features a unique pattern imitating Damascus steel, adding to the rapier's visual appeal. Inside the blade lies a strong and flexible fibreglass core with safe and durable tip protection, crucial for LARP safety.

The defining feature is the silver-coloured (Argent) hilt. The cup hilt offers superb protection for your hand and, together with the elegant quillons and shaped grip, forms a functional and aesthetic whole. The hilt's finish in a shade of patinated silver or steel appears realistic and suits many types of costumes. Naturally, the rapier is approved for safe use at LARP events.

History and a LARP Insight

The cup-hilt rapiers that inspired this design were popular from the 16th century onwards and represented the pinnacle of protective hilt development at the time. They were the weapons of nobles, soldiers, and civilians during an era of duelling and personal defence. The silver finish of the hilt might symbolise purity, the moon, or simply offer an elegant, less ostentatious alternative to gold.

An Interesting LARP Fact: Rapiers like this are ideal for characters who rely on agility, speed, and precise technique. In LARP, you'll often see them wielded by duellists, elves, spies, sea captains, or any character favouring elegance over brute strength. Rapier combat introduces a dynamic of thrusts, parries, and evasions into the game.

Caring for Your LARP Rapier
