Krieger Cuphilt Rapier

Description

This rapier took over a year and a half to develop. Once you pick it up, you will not want to part with it. Due to lack of knucklebow, the blade does not only wear out in one direction. Krieger extended the handle on the ricasso so you can better control end of the weapon with the grip even with thin gloves.
