Introducing the Realistic and Aged Florentine Italian Rapier
Indeed, the rapier class of swords has always been one that has been exclusively credited to the rich cultures of Europe. Perhaps there are as many shapes and forms of rapiers as there are ways of using them, but in general all rapiers symbolize nobility and elegance especially the Florentine rapier. For instance, a gentleman’s education is never complete until he learns how to wield a rapier and master the art of fencing. This shows how important rapiers are to the continent.
The Florentine style of wielding a rapier, however, is one of the many varieties of rapier use, and this one originated from Italian culture. The Florentine style of fighting, in general, involves the use of both a rapier and a dagger, which a unique method of wielding a rapier indeed.
This realistic and aged Florentine Italian Rapier is a wonderful replica of the classic original, all the way down to the details, including the guards and quillons, which were enlarged and elongated for more protection. The handle was also impressed with an aged look to make it look more realistic. It comes with a scabbard to complete the set. This sword is the perfect addition to any collection of medieval rapier swords.
