Pappenheimer Rapier
2025 version - 104 cm blade, flexibility update

Inspired by 17th-century museum originals, this rapier combines historical aesthetics with modern HEMA safety standards. Its diamond-shaped blade offers superb thrusting flexibility in the last third, while keeping the “strong” portion stiff for superior control in the bind. The unique hilt design ensures you’ll stand out — both in tournaments and training.
