"Entry Level" Training Rapier forged by Bellatore

The Bellatore Entry Level rapier offers an economical solution for starting HEMA with a quality steel weapon. Forged according to the specifications of Francisco Lorenz de Rada described in "Experience of the Sword," it follows the dimensions favored by the masters of the 17th-century Verdadera Destreza.

Its flexible 104 cm blade allows for safe and precise thrusts, maintaining its trajectory without excessive vibrations. The balance point at 15 cm from the guard facilitates point work and adapts well to both Spanish and Italian techniques. The spacious cup guard effectively protects the hand while offering comfortable handling, even for larger hands.

Bellatore has simplified some decorative finishes to keep the price accessible, but the forging quality and balance remain up to expectations for club practice. The leather grip, available in two lengths (6 or 8 cm) and two colors (brown or black), ensures a comfortable and historically appropriate hold.
