WP-012 Eco Rapier

Product detailed description

It's possible to mount the rapier on the training blade of the Olympic epee or a special musketeer blade, which is heavier and stiffer. The musketeer blade is also more similar to historical counterparts.

On the other hand, the Olympic epee blade is cheaper, more flexible, and lighter, making it a better choice for new fencers. You can also choose the length of the blade, crossguard, and guard size to provide the most comfortable fit. The main advantages of this rapier—price, safety, simplicity, and light weight—make it an ideal choice for beginners or as a club order.

Additionally, this model has gained wide distribution in the Italian (now international) project HEMA Kids and can be used as a rapier stylization for young fencers.

The product line is designed to be created on a standard Olympic epee blade. So, if your blade breaks, it can be easily replaced.
