Combat Rapiers
Daggers & Fencing
Rapiers, swift Renaissance swords frequently employed in productions such as Romeo and Juliet, Cyrano, and The Three Musketeers, are available for rent. Our rapiers and daggers come in diverse styles and two blade types. Should you require rapiers for your upcoming production or choreography, kindly contact us via email at ross@fortestagecombat.com, telephone at 847-217-7505, or complete a request form on our contact page.
Rapiers
Our rapiers are equipped with two distinct blade types: the Epee and the Schlager. Epee blades are characterized by their triangular shape and produce a distinctive sound during combat. In contrast, Schlager blades are flat and aesthetically pleasing in combat.
When designing a weapons plot, we strongly recommend incorporating an even distribution of these two blade types to achieve a visually and audibly captivating production.
The rental cost for our rapiers is $10 per week or $35 per month.
