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 Rapiers are 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!

Here are some additional pictures of this fabulous blade:
