Although the term rapier has become synonymous with any narrow-bladed sword (particularly those with fancy hilts), the term rapier actually applied to only a select few types of swords. Rapiers were narrow (usually one and a quarter inches wide), quite long, fairly heavy, and usually had only a slight edge on them. The blade is hand forged from high carbon steel and is tempered. The hilt is hand made from steel and nickel silver plated. To give it a firm grip handle is wrapped in steel wire, comes with a scabbard with steel mountings.
