A Rapier hilt that fits onto a long 'musketeer' blade (or epee blade) suitable for historical fencing.

Developed to lower the barrier of entry for people interested in trying Rapier but who don't want to invest £250+ in a new sword, this option should cost around £100 to complete, and can be upgraded with fully metal parts in the future!

Other benefits include being very light while retaining the same blade properties, around 20% lighter than the Rapier blade with a metal hilt, great for people who find this system hard to train with for extended periods
