[ipagrumregnum]

even the gladius of the romans was a copy from the iberian eheeheh we know how to make a sword since the ancient times lol

[RedDeadRevolva]

@ipagrumregnum asin es! jajaja

[Gouveia100]

are both edges sharpened or only the tip?

[mojothemigo]

@Gouveia100 I'm willing to guess that both edges were maintained sharp for atleast part of the upper section, though individual swordsman and smith probably had his own prefferences. You still want some edge towards the tip so it sever blood vessels and doesn't just push them/

[pochazet]

id buy it if it can cut

[roflmaster676]

it is soo ugly and dumb and lame

[mazdaplz]

what a beauty though, astounding piece of art

[mazdaplz]

this rapier looks like it's capable of cutting as well, can it? or is it just for thrusting

how thick is the ricasso? i'd like to get one capable of parrying heavier weapons

[mazdaplz]

nevermind i checked the website and it's not battle ready but i found some sites that sell practical side swords which is just what i was after

[themailman43]

What a beauty !!!. It was after all in Spain that the rapier originated.

[spartan7777777]

@themailman43 ? didnt the rapier originate from italy during the renaissance

[luciferiexcelsil]

@spartan7777777 Italy and Spain have shared a lot of things throughout history...

after all, Spain once part of the Roman Empire, and Italy once part of the Spanish empire... This could be said to be a invention of both... although the technique to make them has its roots in Central Spain.

[themailman43]

@spartan7777777 Nope, it originated in Spain and it arrived in Italy during the time when parts of Italy like Naples were under Spanish dominion.
