Espada Ropera
Espada Ropera
After hundreds of requests, Battlecry has added a classic rapier to their popular line of blackened, uniquely finished versions of history's great swords.
This rapier features a very complex Spanish style hilt and faceted pommel. The grip is hand-wound with blackened wire with woven wire rings top and bottom.
The hand-forged, high carbon steel, fully tempered blade features a diamond cross-section to strengthen it for thrusting. This type of sword was deadly effective as a dueling weapon. The 1065 high carbon steel has darkened, battle-hardened finish, so it’s well protected from the frequent rust spots and stains that occur so often from everyday practice and exposure to the elements.
The blade has an extra-wide tang and is tempering to a low 50s RC. The blade is thick for strength and peened to the pommel. This pre-sharpened blade has gone through rigorous testing. The hands-on nature of the manufacturing by master smiths makes this line unique.
Includes a leather belt frog and scabbard with belt stop, and certificate of authenticity signed by each smith that touched your blade through every step of the forging process.
Top-quality, genuine leather scabbard with deeply engraved floral pattern on the throat and tip.

Battlecry Collection of historical swords, daggers and knives, axes and bucklers hand forged by Windlass Steelcrafts, the 1065 high carbon steel is tempered in computer controlled ovens to an RC in the low 50's.
