Hello all,

Thanks to everyone who helped me find a nice rapier. I ended up buying the rapier and dagger from Chuck Perino that was made by Pheonix Metal Creations with Angus trim blades. I am very happy with them and their wonderful quality. And I am picky.

But where do I find equaly nice belts and scabbards?

Thanks so much,

Casey

Here are three:

All of them are first class scabbard and belt makers. From what I know, both wood core scabbards and leather sheaths were used for these weapons. The dagger was usually just tucked or tied to the belt while the rapier was in a frog which could be ornate or utilitarian, depending upon the users preference. Any of the above makers could probably make you a good setup.

Congratulations on a fine purchase, I eye that one for a long time myself.

Here's my Arms & Armor Lombardy Rapier and the hanger Craig made to go with it.
