CST-88CHR Fluted Rapier with Handle

Fluted rapier with hilt

Introducing the CST-88CHR Fluted Hilt Rapier from Cold Steel! If you're a history buff, you'll know that the rapier is one of the most iconic swords ever used in Europe. This type of sword had a long and enduring reign as the civilian weapon of choice for self-defense and dueling. Cold Steel has created a modern version of its own designed by Dave Baker for all those interested in history and culture.

The CST-88CHR sword has a long, narrow blade that is fully sharpened and polished to ensure perfect balance at the time of use. The sword's blade, made from 1060 high carbon steel, is thin, double-edged and has a slight curve at the tip that makes it ideal for delivering the point at long distances. Additionally, the elaborate hilt is a marvel of craftsmanship and materials, crafted from stainless steel with a classic fluted shell and multiple bars, quillons and a knuckle arch for unparalleled hand protection. All of this means that you will have a luxurious sword that not only looks good, but is also functional and effective.

The hilt itself is made of wood covered with a rich black striped leather and decorative wire. It ends in a heavy fluted pommel that serves as a perfect counterweight to the rapier's long blade. The sword is a true visual and tactile pleasure.

The CST-88CHR Ridged Rapier with Hilt has an overall length of approximately 128.3 cm, a blade length of approximately 105.4 cm, a blade thickness of approximately 5 mm and a handle length of approximately 22.9 cm. Its weight is approximately 1361 g including the leather scabbard with steel fittings. The sword comes ready to be used for any historical occasion or to add to your personal collection.
