Ornate Rapier

Perhaps the single most beautiful and elegant one-handed sword ever created, the Rapier is an astonishingly gorgeous weapon. Lightweight, balanced, sleek and deadly, this sword allows the wielder to both attack and defend as fast as humanly possible. It is a joy to use and a delight to behold!

The Ornate Rapier is balanced; i.e. there is a small weight in the handle that helps make this one of the fastest longswords to wield in the LARP world!

This sword is gorgeous, and it is BIG. The handle is designed for larger hands, and the overall length is 44", which is noticeably longer than most standard LARP longswords.

Here are some additional pictures of this fabulous blade:
