Academie de Espada Rapier and Dagger Set

Crafted with precision and designed for performance, the Academie de Espada Rapier and Dagger Set is ideal for practitioners of historical European martial arts (HEMA), enthusiasts of classical fencing, and participants in Society for Creative Anachronism (SCA) activities. Both the rapier and dagger are forged from the same high-quality materials to ensure consistency and durability in every bout.

The quillions of both weapons are made from C45 steel (equivalent to AISI 1045), heat-treated to 45 HRC, ensuring solid protection and durability.
