A glint of polished steel catches the light, and in your hand rests the confidence of a seasoned 17th-century duelist. The Black Cage Hilt Rapier Sword brings that moment to life, carrying the spirit of the Renaissance with an elegance that endures beyond time. This sword isn’t simply held; it’s experienced. It invites you into an era when every gentleman carried a blade not only for defense but as a symbol of identity, refinement, and presence.
The 44-inch Black Cage Hilt Rapier Sword embraces the artistry that defined the European duelist. With its dramatic black cage hilt and gleaming mirror-polished blade, it captures the visual tension between beauty and lethality that made the rapier an icon of its age.

It stands as a tribute to the era’s craftsmanship while embodying the bold sophistication that made the rapier a status symbol.
This sword is crafted with a 36.25-inch blade forged from 3Cr13 stainless steel, chosen for its durability and strong corrosion resistance, making it ideal for long-term display. The dagger point profile and .12-inch blade thickness give it the unmistakable stance of a classic rapier. The basket-style guard is molded from lightweight zinc-aluminum alloy and finished in a deep, commanding black that contrasts strikingly with the bright stainless blade. A secure handle grip wrapped in black rubber over polished stainless wire offers the traditional look and feel collectors expect, and the included black wood scabbard provides safe storage and a refined presentation. At approximately 2.4 pounds, it displays comfortably without losing its authentic presence.
