  I can see how the aesthetics would appeal to many, but I just can&apos;t shake the mental image I got when I first saw that hilt: <i>A handful of licorice twists</i>. :)

  Threaded pommel? Means you can end your opponent rightly

  I TOTALLY agree with you about the lack of description for Windlass/Museum Replicas blades. &nbsp;It has kept me from buying a number of products from them.

  I am with entertainment at a renaissance faire in California, and this is the blade I use in our stage show. The pommel is fine, and only occasionally needs tightening (once so far in the two and a half years I&apos;ve been using it).

  Not sure if blade length is all that important. The rapier fighters I know go for a length based on their own reach and height. Historically, English rapier wielders would have blades some several inches longer than normal, the rumor being in other nations that the extra length would overcome an innate lack of skill.

  In regards to the blade lenght, from what I&apos;ve read and seen so far, 38&quot;&quot;is within the standard for rapiers, which vary from 37 to 45 inches, with the earlier ones being shorter and more of a cut and thrust weapon, transitioning from the sidesword, while the later ones get ever longer and more thrust centric over time until beeing superseeded by the smallsword. It&apos;s definitelly something important to notice, but I&apos;d not say that it&apos;s &quot;wrong&quot; in any way. Thanks for the review!

  I think slight variations of the details across different Resellers might be because the eapons might be all slightly different. At least Windlases Swords are manufactured by craftsmen and not completely by machines as far as I know.
