40" Polypropylene Rapier Training Sword

Excellent practice sword, light weight and powerful

Ahoy there, fellow adventurers! An inspiring swashbuckler has entered the chat! First off, I snagged this item because, let’s be honest, I’m a sword enthusiast—it’s like my version of collecting stamps, but with more “swish” and less “whoops, I cut the envelope!”I’m also itching to get back into practicing my fencing skills. Who doesn’t want to channel their inner Zorro or duel like a true pirate? Plus, I’ve got my sights set on reenacting some epic scenes from classic films like *The Princess Bride*. I mean, who wouldn’t want to yell “As you wish!” while brandishing a sword? It’s a great film, by the way—definitely more charming than a parrot perched on your shoulder! ( i almost forgot to mention the guard for the sword won't stay on or stay lock in to place.

Got this for learning from some fencing books. They take a beating well and are pretty comfortable in the hand, but the bell guard they provide sort of screws on over a very solid D guard. The bell guards kept coming loose and one of them cracked in practice with a buddy. the D guard is solid, just don't bother with he bell.

Bought this to complete my fit for an out of town ren faire. Didn’t want any problems with TSA. When it arrived the flat black finish was the only negative. It dismantled easily. Painted the blade in metallic gray and the hilt in metallic black.This rapier is an excellent choice for anyone going to a ren faire. It offers a great combination of performance, and authenticity, all at an affordable price. I highly recommend this sword.

I love this thing! Got it today and I am in love with it. Already began practicing with the Rapier and I can't wait to wear it to the RenFaire.That being said, there are two main concerns I have seen people comment about which almost put me off buying this.- The first is that blade is slightly bent. I feel like this is to be expected because the blade is meant to bend upon impact. Significant bends can be bent back. However, with the bend in mind, it is easy for the bottom of the hilt all the way to tip to be a straight line, even if the blade bends slightly on the way there.- Some folk claim the handguard doesn't stay on. I am not sure if they fixed it, but I think that is because they put it on wrong. The handguard requires a decent amount of force to lock it in place. Once locked in place, it isn't going anywhere. It's a push, turn, and lock style mechanism. Before I ensured I turned it all the way, I did have problems with it coming off. So, to those having this issue, simply turn it all the way to the right as intended.

Great quality for HEMA practice. I bought two for practice.

Es muy resistente, no es un jugete.

The hilt broke and it warps really easy but other than that it's good
