Taza Cup Hilt Rapier
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.
The matching Main Gauche (SH2137N) again features a pierced guard and pommel in the same design as the Rapier,
with a fileworked blade in the Spanish style. A leather scabbard and belt frog is included.
Both pieces are available with an "antiqued" finish (SH2035N and SH2137N), giving them a museum quality patina.
