Whether you’re a seasoned collector, a historical enthusiast, or someone with a flair for the theatrical, we’ve got something in our arsenal that feels tailor-made for you.

Carbon Steel Rapiers Offer That Classic Edge
There’s something deeply satisfying about the feel of a carbon steel rapier in your hand. It’s old-school in the best possible way - raw, sturdy, and just begging to be part of a dramatic display or costume piece that tells a story. Over time, these blades develop a distinct patina, kind of like the rings in a tree or the creases in a well-loved leather jacket. It’s proof of character.
If you're someone who enjoys maintaining your gear and appreciates a piece that evolves with time, carbon steel is a choice that’ll reward your effort.

Stainless Steel Rapiers Deliver Easy Care with Lasting Beauty
Now, if you'd rather not worry about keeping rust at bay, our stainless steel rapiers are the practical pick. These are the no-nonsense beauties - always looking sharp, always camera-ready, and requiring just a quick wipe-down now and again. We’ve seen a lot of our clients choose stainless when they’re shopping for decorative pieces, gifts, or their first sword.
They shine, they hold their edge, and they play well in display cases or mounted above the fireplace. A little flash, a lot of class.
