"Taza" Cup Hilt Rapier (SH2035)
Long extolled as the pinnacle of rapier design,
the “Spanish” or “Cup-Hilt” rapier undoubtedly combined style and
function very effectively in 17th century Europe. The very best of
these weapons featured beautifully pierced cups and pommels and CAS/Hanwei
has replicated these to perfection and combined them with an
elegantly tapered high-carbon steel blade in our “Taza” rapier (the
name comes from the French, who called this style “a la Taza”). A
leather-covered scabbard is included.

Renaissance Side Sword (SH2203) 
The Side Sword (SH2203) was a military sword
of the 16th & 17th century Renaissance period that also achieved
popularity among civilians, due to its relatively light weight &
quickness. It also had an advantage over its contemporary, the
rapier, in having the ability to cut efficiently as well as thrust.
Side swords were often the weapon of choice for sword & buckler
fighting. Our Side Sword (SH2203), based on a German original, is a
beautifully proportioned piece that balances very well. The
"swept-hilt" affords excellent hand protection and the blade
geometry makes for an outstanding performance in both the cut and
the thrust. The blade is constructed of high-carbon steel and the
wire-wrapped handle is beautifully ornate.
