Description

The Rada rapier by Bellatore is an exceptional tribute to the golden age of Spanish fencing. Each piece is meticulously handcrafted according to the detailed specifications found in the work 'Experience of the Sword' by Francisco Lorenz de Rada, a major reference of the 17th-century Verdadera Destreza.

The blade, with a diamond cross-section and a short fuller, offers the ideal flexibility for precise and secure thrusts, without compromising the rigidity needed for historical combat techniques. The 5 cm ricasso allows for an advanced grip characteristic of Spanish techniques.

The 28.5 cm bell guard, adorned with twisted quillons and a knuckle bow, ensures optimal hand protection while respecting historical proportions. The slightly oval handle, available in 10 or 12 cm, is covered with crafted leather for a comfortable and authentic grip.

As each rapier is artisanally made, slight variations in dimensions and shape are possible, giving each piece a unique character. The nut-shaped pommel is secured by threading, with the addition of a leather washer between the guard and the handle to prevent loosening during practice.

This weapon offers remarkable balance with a point of balance located approximately 8-8.5 cm from the guard, making it particularly suitable for Destreza techniques and other historical rapier fencing styles.
