"Thibault" Rapier forged by Bellatore

The Thibault de Bellatore rapier draws its inspiration from the specifications of Gerard Thibault d'Anvers, a 17th-century Flemish master and author of the treatise "Académie de l'Espée." Its historically informed design makes it a versatile weapon that goes beyond the Thibault style to suit various schools of rapier fencing.

The swept hilt guard without a knuckle bow offers excellent wrist mobility, facilitating line changes and circular actions common to several styles. The 8 cm leather grip, more generous than some Iberian models, allows for different handholds according to technical needs. The acorn-shaped pommel ensures a good hand lock while maintaining an elegant historical aesthetic.

With its contained weight of 950 g and a balance point 13 cm from the quillons, this rapier prioritizes maneuverability and reduces fatigue during extended training sessions. The 104 cm blade, with a diamond profile and a short fuller, offers controlled flexibility suitable for technical sparring. Whether you practice the Spanish Verdadera Destreza, Thibault's Académie de l'Espée, Giganti's Italian fencing, or Meyer's techniques, this rapier will adapt to your style thanks to its versatile balance and robust construction.
