they are ok. Kult of athena is better. also deepeeka rapiers are garbage. Buy a windlass if you are a poorfag or a Hanwei if you just want an ok rapier.

You should really take this question to the swordbuyersguide.com or My Armory forums. /k/ tends to shit the bed when asked for actual, real world advice.

first: read this - http://www.sword-buyers-guide.com/buy-swords-online.html

kult of athena is the best site for buying functional swords; just make sure you click on the battle-ready button to only view carbon steel blades

don't waste your money on deepeeka; they're cheap, but they're a waste of money

windlass, hanwei, and cold steel or decent budget swords

if you want really high-end quality swords, you're going to have to go with albion for medieval swords or a custom maker for renaissance/early modern swords

The rapier is the patrician choice. All blades wider than 1 inch are for peasants, brutes, and barbarians.
