17" Main Gauche – Stage Prop & Display Piece
The Duelist’s Off-Hand. Elegantly Deadly.
The 17" Main Gauche is a historically significant prop that brings the art of Renaissance dueling to life. Traditionally wielded in the off-hand alongside a rapier, the main gauche was the weapon of choice for skilled European swordsmen of the 16th and 17th centuries. With its long 6½" handle designed for two-finger grip and its slender high carbon steel blade, this prop is an exceptional choice for theatrical sword fights, Renaissance faire performances, musketeer cosplay, and historical European display.
