Cup Hilt Rapier VB, V3

I'm 5'4" and I felt like it was a bit too long for me and ended up selling it to a fellow student at my school who is a beast with this thing. The construction and balance are really solid and it went back to true after a really heavy bend during sparring. Definitely a nice rapier for trying out the sport or sparring in general.

The blade is quite long and has excellent flex. My only minor complaint is that the cup seems prone to collecting rust. Good sword overall.

The V2 has an updated blade, which is more nimble and flexible without being floppy, largely disregard this review, which is for the V1. I got mine from a friend, who now uses a Zen Warrior rapier.The blade has almost no taper, distal or profile, to speak of, it's the same thickness and width the entire way down. In my example, the distal taper is actually uneven, the middle section is thick
