Kingston Arms

Kingston Arms Renaissance-style Rapiers draw inspiration from early 17th century Europe, where mastering the Rapier was considered an essential skill for a gentleman and a common way to settle disputes. Originating from renowned blade-making centers like Toledo and Solingen, these swords were often crafted with distinctive hilts, varying in style and material, based on local manufacturing traditions throughout Europe.

The Main Gauche, or left-hand dagger, was commonly paired with the Rapier, enhancing both offense and defense. European "Schools of Fence" during this period taught the combination of these two weapons, with the Main Gauche often matching the Rapier’s design while incorporating features for optimal functionality. Kingston Arms version features a matte-finished black titanium-coated stainless steel guard and pommel, with a brown cord-wrapped grip that is comfortable and spacious enough for use with fencing gloves. This combination of style and practicality makes this Main Gauche a perfect representation of Renaissance weaponry.
