Cavalier sword 17th century

The 17th century was a time when sword dueling was on the rise. It was a way of settling honor disputes that was so widespread that even the French King Louis XIII banned dueling for fear of losing many of his important dignitaries in this dangerous endeavor. Nobles considered it their duty as men to defend their honor with the sword. Therefore, they not only attracted experienced instructors to expand their knowledge and skills in sword fighting, they also sought out new types of weapons to gain a decisive advantage. One such weapon was the 17th century Cavalier sword.

This sword was a smaller, lighter and faster version of the rapier that offered more comfort and was agile in combat. This variant was a precursor to the Gala or Hofdegens also known as the Small Sword in English. The 17th century Cavalier sword, also known as the Cavalier Degen, has a sharp, double-edged, sharply tapered blade that is substantially shorter and lighter than the classic rapier. This sword is characterized by its agile maneuverability, and its broken hilt made of hardened steel rings, parierelemente and handlebar offers surprisingly good protection for the hand, while the wire-wrapped handle and Knauf balance provide maximum comfort and maneuverability.

The interpretation of this Cavalier Rapier sword by Cold Steels is a masterpiece as they use 1055 carbon steel to produce a high quality blade. The blade has a length of approximately 91.4 cm and a thickness of around 5 mm, which ensures excellent stability and balance. Furthermore, the relatively light weight of 1089 g makes it easily manageable. The Cavalier sword comes with a hand-stitched leather sheath with mouth plate and steel band and integrated belt hook for optimal comfort.

In short, the 17th Century Cavalier Sword is a high-quality, classic sword that is perfect for both sword collectors and sword fighting enthusiasts. Its excellent design and production quality ensure that it will be an excellent addition to any sword collection. Don't miss out on the chance to own this magnificent piece of historical art today.
