MEYER RAPPIER REDESIGN ✨️
robinswords wasn't totally convinced by our previous Meyer Rappier. The knuckle bow didn't leave enough room for a gauntlet fully below the cross. Then we redesigned it taking his advice, and he gave the new one five months of weekly sparring.
What he found was a sword with two distinct personalities. Hold it for the cut and it has authority and blade presence. Shift your grip, get the thumb on the Schilt, and the tip becomes something else entirely: responsive, precise, easy to place exactly where you need it.
The hilt and blade took everything he threw at it. Longsword, military saber, sidesword. Some scuffs, nothing severe. Thanks also to the *bombproof* hilt, to say it in his words :)
Nothing's perfect, and we're happy to acknowledge it: Rob flagged the grip profile and the guard quillon block edge: we need to make the grip more rectangular and the quillon block edge more rounded. Both are addressed in every Meyer Rappier from now on and we're also sending him a replacement grip to test.
Features:
• Knuckle bow widened for full mobility with gauntlets
• Grip reshaped to 9 cm, + the 1 cm pommel neck for a comfortable hand position
• Diamond blade with Schilt | 106 cm overall | max width 3.5 cm
• Weight: 1020 gr (+/-50) | PoB: 9 cm from the cross
• High flex | thickened tip | 50 HRC
• Modular Sword System™, fully dismountable
• Cord and leather grip options available
And then there is the part that is harder to put into specs: everyone he handed it to came back grinning.
Thanks Rob! And you, go watch the full review on YT ❤️🔥
