Way back in 17th Century Europe where the Hanwei Swept Hilt Rapier Sword was designed after by Paul Chen, swordplay was a very important indicator of both educational and social class for the European gentleman. Fencing and swordplay is taught to all European gentlemen and it has been a known means of resolving conflicts and disagreements. And nobody displays a replica of this elegance other than the swords of Paul Chen.
Aside from the fact that this battle ready 44-inch long carbon steel sword is light and balanced, this specific Hanwei Swept Hilt Rapier is crafted with every detail of elegance that was boasted way back in the 17th Century with its authentic historical design made of a solid hardwood grip and a solid steel basket design right near the handle, distinguishing it from other collectible rapiers.
Paul Chen’s classical rapier swords also comes with an equally elegant scabbard where the wielder can keep the rapier. All in all, the quality in which this weapon of wit and agility has been crafted is indeed a flawless one.
