The DA2BR Bated Rapier blade is wider, stiffer and heavier than the DA1PR Practice Rapier. It more accurately represents the weight of many “period” rapier blades, (rather than being a “sport blade” from present times). It can be fullered and/or pierced as well. The tang is the same as a Practice Rapier, though, so you could swap back and forth if needs arise.
The Bated Rapier, though being SCA rapier-legal, is heavier and thicker and good option for SCA Cut and Thrust… it survives much better than any Practice Rapier would.
Shoulder width: 1″ +/- (they are all hand ground, so there’s a bit of variation)
