Oh, d’Artagnan!

Well, there are no musketeers here, but we sure do have the Rapiers!  The art of fencing is still alive and well today, but unfortunately the frock coats and the men in stockings have turned into people with white suits and nets over their faces.  But, the art remains the same!

The whole point (no pun intended) of the rapier is the speed at which you can attack with it.  The light, slim blade slices through the air with amazing speed.  The basket hilt is a common hilt for the rapier, as it protects the hand better than other hilts.  With the thinness of the blade and the speed of attack is taken into consideration, no wonder fencing practitioners wear that net helmet!
