Darkwood Armory custom Rapier review

hilt - Closed port swept I (Round stock loops), right hand , clovers only pattern, bright finish

quillions - straight swelled end, bright finish

handle - Wooden (Oak) handle

pommel - rapier Scent stopper pommel (Faceted)

blade - spada blade 38" single small fuller, bright finish

Total price for me was $641.00. $622 without shipping. Tax is included in the prices which is cool. And yes it comes with ups tracking.
All swords come blunted by default. Email them to sharpen if you want it sharp. "Sharps are (website price) plus $50, and plain scabbards are $200." I haven't seen a scabbard but I'll order one if I decide to get a sharp blade.

Cool thing about this sword manufacturer is that it does allow you to buy interchangeable parts.
Also this company is based in the USA in Mississippi. They hand make all their stuff which means each piece will be unique.
Edit: August 23 2025 I got a decent scale and it weighs 2Lbs 9 oz = 1.173kg
Blade 1Lb 1.4oz = .382 kg
Pommel 9.4 oz = .267kg
Hilt 13.5 oz = .382kg
Wood Handle 1.1 oz = .03kg
I put some paper in the handle to reduce movement of the blade in the hand. The part that your hand would normally rest on on the hilt has begun to turn black.I guess that means It isnt stainless steel.I never filed the part of the blade down because I worried the coat on the blade would be gone. The blade has developed spots where it has turned black. If you do buy this maybe consider the blackened finish for lower maitanance instead since it would be harder to see developing patina.
