"Taza" Main Gauche
|
A main gauche is a dagger of the 16th and 17th centuries, held in the left hand in dueling and used to parry the sword of an opponent. Long extolled as the pinnacle of rapier design, the "Spanish" or "Cup-Hilt" rapier undoubtedly combined style and function very effectively in 17th century Europe.
The very best of these weapons featured beautifully pierced cups and pommels and CAS/Hanwei has replicated these to perfection and combined them with an elegantly tapered high-carbon steel blade in our "Taza" rapier (the name comes from the French, who called this style "a la Taza"). A leather-covered scabbard is included. The matching Main Gauche again features a pierced guard and pommel in the same design as the rapier, with a fileworked blade in the Spanish style.
