I call it "Vera" ;)

After a loan of almost (over?) a year, one of my historic fencing coaches offered to sell me the rapier I've been using at a hideously good discount. It a Paul Chen practical rapier - not as posh as a Darkwood Armory but still pretty damn sexy! And after all this time with it, I know what it feels like and how I can handle it.

Total armory = 1 practice foil, 1 electric foil, 1 dueling saber, and now 1 rapier. Let's hunt some orc!

I love Paul Chen's stuff. My Viking sword is one of his. I really really want his Tai Chi sword.

Nothing wrong with Paul Chen - this is a quality practice weapon, I've just been spoiled by all the Darkwood Armory rapiers I've seen/handled.

What exactly is the Tai Chi sword used for?
