Battling Blades20 Feb, 2025Business

Rapier swords emerged in the 16th century as elegant, slender blades designed for thrusting attacks. Favored by nobles and duelists, they featured a narrow, sharp-pointed blade and intricate hilt for hand protection. Used in dueling, self-defense, and fencing, they prioritized precision over brute force. Though eventually replaced by small swords, rapiers remain iconic in European martial arts and historical reenactments.
