## Description

40" Polypropylene Rapier Training Sword

Review: EDIT: While sparring, the thing broke into two pieces. This was maybe on its 5th or 6th session of use. Highly recommend against it. I got one, and a friend got one to practice fencing. On the first use, my friend lunged towards me, and I moved the Rapier up to parry. Her blade hit the cup on my handle, and with a loud CRACK, it just went spinning. Upon closer inspection, it seems like the plastic pieces holding it to the handle completely snapped, flying into literal pieces. The fact that it just broke during first use is disappointing. It wasn't a particularly harsh round. Giving it 2 stars since the body of the sword itself is quite solid and can still be used as a sabre, but for this price I was definitely expecting more than one session of keeping it together.
Review: 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.

*by E***X on 18 February 2025*

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.
