    THE HISTORY of the RAPIER the Culture and Construction of the Renaissance Weapon

    THE HISTORY OF THE RAPIER The Culture and Construction of the Renaissance Weapon An Interactive Qualifying Project Report Submitted to the Faculty of the WORCESTER POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTE in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of Bachelor of Science By Robert Correa Andrew Daudelin Mark Fitzgibbon Eric Ostrom 15 October 2013 Submitted to: Professor Diana A. Lados Mr. Tom H. Thomsen Abstract At the end of the Middle Ages, weapons began to be used not only on the battlefield, but for civilian use as well. The rapier became the essential self-defense weapon of the “Renaissance man.” This project explores the evolution and manufacture of the rapier through history. This cut-and-thrust sword was manufactured by artisans who had to develop new methods of crafting metal in order to make the thin, light blade both durable and ductile. To study this process, a rapier was constructed using classical methods. Upon the completion of the replica, its material properties were studied using a surface microscope. The project also included contributing to the WPI Arms and Armor website. ii Acknowledgements The authors would like to thank Professor Diana Lados and Mr. Tom Thomsen for creating the Evolution of Arms and Armor Interactive Qualifying Project. Their guidance and assistance were invaluable throughout the project experience. A huge thanks also to Josh Swalec and Ferromorphics Blacksmithing. The expertise of Mr. Swalec and others at Ferromorphics was key to learning smithing techniques and using them to construct a replica of a rapier in the Renaissance style. Mr. Swalec opened the doors of his shop to us and was welcoming every step of the way.

    Sample File Gladius: Double-Edged Sword of Roman Design Between 65 and 70 Cm Long

    he sword has been an iconic weapon in role-playing games from the earliest days. Who Thasn’t played a game where at least one player played a character wielding a mighty sword — be it a simple longsword, heavy bastard sword, versatile short sword, massive two-handed sword, or dextrous rapier? Swords, in their many flavors and varieties have filled the pages of role-playing games, fantasy books, and other writings for generations. But when you play your games, whether set in far off fantasy lands or in Norman England, do your swords all look alike? What sets one longsword apart from another? Sure, they all do the same amount of damage, but what makes them special? Swords have been around in human history since the Bronze Age, or maybe even earlier. They reached their height of variety and versatility in the European Middle Ages and have found a place among the armies of the world, stretching across Europe, Africa, and Asia. In basic terms, a sword is a bladed (edged) weapon used for cutting and thrusting. The exact definition, style, and name depends on which age of history you are examining and the culture that created the weapon. From saifs, daos, khopesh, katanas, spatha, talwar, and Viking swords to Norman Longswords, Zweihanders, scimitars, rapiers, epee, and cavalry sabers, swords have found a place in our history. These weapons were all designed to meet a specific need for the wielder - whether functional or emotional or both. From purely utilitarian functionality to great works of art, swords run the gamut of form and function, which is probably why they are so important in role-playing games.

    CAS Hanwei 25Th Anniversary Catalog!

    CAS25th Anniversary Hanwei Catalog Welcome to the CAS Hanwei 25th Anniversary Catalog! 2010 marks the 25th anniversary of CAS’s inception and to celebrate our quarter-century Hanwei has excelled in producing the Silver Anniversary Shinto, a superlative Limited Edition (very limited!) version of the first Katana that Hanwei ever made for CAS. The original Shinto enabled many sword enthusiasts to afford a purpose-built cutting sword for the first time, introducing many enthusiasts to the sport of Tameshigiri, and the Silver Anniversary Shinto, featured on the covers and Page 14 of this catalog remains true to the basic design but features silver-plated fittings, advanced blade metallurgy and a stand unique to this sword. Also new to this catalog are the swords of two traditionally warring Ninja clans (the Kouga and Iga, Page 38) that depart from the typical plain-Jane Ninja styling and will be welcomed by Ninjaphiles every- where. The new Tactical Wak (Page 37) is a modern version of the traditional Wakizashi, intended for serious outdoor use and protection – it will see a lot of use in the backwoods. Reenactors will be excited about the new Hand-and-a-Half sword (the Practical Bastard Sword, Page 71), with its upgraded steel, great handling and new user-friendly scabbard styling. The number of martial arts practitioners enjoying cutting with Chinese-style swords is growing very rapidly and so we had Scott Rodell, author and teacher of this discipline, design the first purpose-built cutting sword (the Cutting Jian, Page 50) for these enthusiasts. Several mid-2009 introductions are now also included in our full catalog for the first time.

The handle consists of handle scales (āj), rivets (mil-e etesāl), adhesive material (zāj-e sepid), crossguard (bolčāq or mohāfez-e daste), pommel cap (kolāhak) and tangbands (āhanak). On some handles, there are two separate steel plates that are attached to the tang via adhesive materials and rivets as well. To analyze the construction, digital scanners, AutoCAD software (Autodesk Inc.) and X-ray radiography will be used. The following article will show that such a construction is not a haphazard one, but in such a construction, the tang of the sword functions like a spring in a spring and dumper system, and the adhesive material also functions as a dumper and the design may significantly prevent propagation of reaction shock waves to the user’s hand. The goal of this study is to show how this system of shock absorption works.
  • Martin Siber's Fight-Lore of 1491 AD

    Martin Siber's Fight-Lore of 1491 AD

    Martin Siber’s Fight-Lore of 1491 AD A sword and buckler thesis on the Fechtlehre from Handschrift M I 29 (Codex Speyer) at the University of Salzburg, Austria by Jeffrey Hull Foreword The Fechtlehre (fight-lore) of Martin Siber is part of the Handschrift M I 29 now residing at Universitätsbibliothek Salzburg. This Fechtbuch (fight-book) was originally put to paper by Hans von Speyer, its compiler and editor, in the southwestern area of Germany in 1491 AD, and hence we may call this Codex Speyer. A fine transcript of the whole Codex Speyer by Beatrix Koll of Universitätsbibliothek Salzburg is posted at: http://www.ubs.sbg.ac.at/sosa/webseite/fechtbuch.htm. I thank her for her inspiring work and gracious help, and encourage others to view it. At one time Universitätsbibliothek Salzburg had posted its own high-quality colour facsimile of Codex Speyer on the Web. Uni-Salz no longer does but hopefully someday they may post it again. Also, I thank Monika Maziarz for sharing her personal transcript of Siber for helpful comparison. Ultimately, I chose to do my own original transcript of Siber’s fight-lore based upon the manuscript- facsimile of Codex Speyer, so that I could trust the unity and validity of my own work. Thus I made transcription of the Middle High-German manuscript and translations into New High-German and into New English. Also, I interpreted Siber’s fight-lore, by trying to let it lead me where it would. I have striven to render the text with regard for the literary, the historic and the martial.
