Legends In Steel Combat Rapier And Scabbard - High Carbon Steel Blade, Wire-Wrapped Handle, Steel Handguard - Length 45 1/2"

The overall construction of the rapier is solid. Everything is secure and nothing is going to break off from excessive use(granted you don’t abuse it by using it in ways that it isn’t supposed to be used.) It has all the right dimensions for a functional sword rather than a wall hanger. If one wanted to, one could easily sharpen the edge for proper use(I should note that the manufacturer has not said anything about doing this.) The only problem I have is that it takes a bit of effort to draw the rapier from its scabbard. But as I have continued to draw the rapier and put it back, it has become easier to do so. Overall I am satisfied with this purchase.
