Hi guys,
I’m thinking of stumping up for one of these but the measurements are wrecking my head. Is the 38” blade up to the cup or up to the cross?
I’ve been looking around for a rapier of historically plausible length for my height, which seems to be the bang average 41” blade. This brings the cross up to my navel.
If the blade of the Hanwei is 38” up to the cup, the ricasso would bring it to more or less the right length for me. If it’s 38” to the cross, though, I’m looking yet again at a munchkin rapier and I’ll have to keep searching.
Thanks!
