Product description
A beautiful rapier by Windlass Steelcrafts based on historical swords from the 17th century but with a fantasy twist. This rapier was inspired by the pirate rapiers that were used by pirates sailing the seven seas. The rapier's black hilt is made of twisted steel, reminiscent of the rope that a pirate uses to invade a ship. This sword is delivered including a black scabbard with skull. The semi-sharp blade is forged from tempered 1065 carbon steel with a hardness of 48-52 HRC. A great ornamental sword for the wall, also beautiful for a pirate Cosplay costume from series and films like Black Sails and Pirates of the Caribbean. When you blunten the blade, it is a great battle ready sword for sword fighting.

This item is produced in limited quantities only. This means that every piece is unique. Sizes & finish may vary lightly from piece to piece.
Prevent rust and corrosion by oiling your weapons regularly. Remove rust easily with black sandpaper. Remove burrs with a whetstone. Make sure you have removed all burrs before using a battle-ready weapon, as they can cause wounds.
Maintenance & care
Just as with weaponry, you can care for your shoes and leatherware by applying a little Ballistol after cleaning. This prevents the leather from drying out.
Tip: How to adjust the finish of your armour and weaponry
Luxurious (polished)- polish the steel with metal polish or toothpaste. You can even give the item a mirror-like polish. Test on a small surface first!
Handmade (matte)- soak the steel in cola for 40 minutes to 20 hours. Check regularly and treat with black sandpaper.
Antique (patinated) leave the steel to rust for some time in a damp environment, preferably outside. Remove the red layer of rust, to reveal the corroded top layer.
Please note. After finishing the product yourself, the warranty and return right expire. Celtic WebMerchant is not responsible for the obtained result."
