The Most Extreme Form of Rapier (LK Chen Tizona Review)

The 17th century Spanish cup-hilt rapier is iconic for its use by musketeers and tops even the extensive hand protection of complex rapier guards with multiple rings. This kind of narrow, needled pointed blade makes for highly effective thrusts with minimal effort, at the expense of cutting power (to say the least). I've tested this reproduction and am giving you an in-depth look at how well it's made and how it performs in terms of handling and practical functionality. The original sword at the Metropolitan Museum that I compare it to here: https://www.metmuseum.org/art/collect... ** Specifications ** Blade material: GB 60Si2MnA spring steel (comparable to 5160), heat treated to HRC 52-54 Hilt material: Stainless steel Hilt assembly: Full tang, peened Overall length: 119.5 cm (47 in) Blade length: 101.5 cm (40 in) Blade width: 0.5 – 2 cm (0.2 – 0.8 in) Thickness: 6.5 mm (1/4 in) at the top of the cup, tapering to 3 mm at the tip (1/8 in) Weight: 1.2 kg (2 lbs 10 oz) Point of balance: ~ 10.5 cm (4-1/8 in) from the crossguard (below the cup) / 5.2 cm (2 in) from the top of the cup ** Pros / Cons ** Nimble and well-balanced Strong, durable blade Tight fit overall Good representation of historical originals Wire wrap loosens up with use Ugly pitting on the cup Can't cut (to be expected with this blade type) ** Where to get it ** https://www.kultofathena.com/product/...
