Rapier fencing please help me out...?

Question

first off a rapier is a sword... also a type of car but it was firstly a sword..... ya, anywho... id like some help on finding the right blade size for me, im 13 and i dont think i can wield a flippin 3ft blade thats bigger than my arm... so, if anyone knows of an online shop that either makes custom rapiers down to 2ft - 2 1/2ft blades and S-shaped quillions, please do tell! thanks...

NOTE: if you dont know what im on about dont bother wasting my time answering this question :)

Answer 1

Are you looking for a sharp, functional blade, or a sparring/fencing blade?  If you want a sparring blade, what type do you fence with?  Epee, double wide epee, schlager, or what?  

Eddie Floyd can make a custom sword for you, but custom weapons are not inexpensive.  You can look at some of his work at:
