So, I'm looking for left-handed or a neutral-grip rapier. While finding one under $300 is good, I might have to consider spending as much as $600 if necessary. I have a left-handed MRL, a cup-hilted rapier from Darkwood, a late Elizabethan neutral-grip model from American Fencers Supply in San Francisco, and I'm aware of the Hanwei Torino as a possible product (they have a left-handed model). Unfortunately, the market is largely dominated by rapiers that are historically designed to be wielded right-handed :/. Specifications: mid-to-late sixteenth century (about 1550-1600), any European nationality, no cup hilt . Any leads, please? --Edward

The Windlass "Pilsen Rapier" looks pretty nice, but I don't think there are any reviews of it out there.

I'm also double-checking the Darkwood website. It looks like they have a left-handed rapier that might work . --Edward

BKS even has some rapiers in stock I think.

No need to look anywhere outside of Darkwood or A&A.

I don't know if this is what you are looking for, but they are going to make some in left hand.
