The advantage of the sword point over the edge became evident by the end of the 16th century. The rapier, with its long elegantly thin profile, which emphasized its point, became the popular choice in civilian self defense. It was, however, a somewhat unwieldy weapon, especially when it was used in narrow, crowded streets and alleyways. Eventually, by the end of the 17th century, a more sophisticated, shorter and lighter version of the rapier emerged, the small sword.
Its primary advantage was its stiff, lightweight blade which was forged in a triangular cross section. The hilt (compared to the rapier´s) was simple and smartly functional, consisting of no more than an elliptical plate, or two shells and a knuckle guard.
Our version duplicates the original model´s best features, but uses modern materials like 1050 high carbon steel, heat treated to a tough spring temper.
The hilt features two shells with functional finger loops and a light, but strong, knuckle guard.
The small sword comes with an attractive leather scabbard that features an intricately decorated throat and chape.
