Renaissance rapier blade (flex)
Renaissance Rapier Blade is a training and competition blade inspired by early rapier designs. It is made for HEMA, historical reenactment, and stage fencing.
The diamond-section blade is primarily designed for thrusting, but unlike later triangular rapier blades, it can also be used for controlled cutting actions. It flexes safely on the thrust, making it suitable for sparring.
The Flex version is softer in the thrust, flexing at around 5–6 kg.
It is especially well suited to SCA rules and requirements, as well as beginner training.
