This Fencing Main Gauche by Hanwei has been made to use in conjunction with the musketeer and schlaeger blade fencing rapiers. It is considered a perfect piece to use for two-weapon sparring as tip flexibility offers safety while the parrying stiffness gives it an authentic feel. Weighing only 7oz, the blade is fast, flexible and light, which is why it is a preferred weapon of choice by a substantial number of Renaissance fencing organizations.
