Torino rapier 2.0

Last seen in 2014, the Torino rapier has returned! These are sweet and it's great to see them back.

Based on models of 17th century swept-hilt rapiers of Italian ancestry and combining the better features of several pieces, the Paul Chen / Hanwei Torino rapier with matching main gauche is one of the standards by which all reproduction rapiers are measured. The blade is 1560 high-carbon steel. The ornate guard has straight quillons and loops to protect the hand and fingers. Also available is a separate blunt/rebated rapier blade that fits in this hilt and gives you a full sharp-or-blunt training weapons system, and the Torino main gauche.
