Origin
A rapier (/ˈreɪpiər/) is a type of sword with a slender and sharply-pointed double-edged blade; some historical rapier samples feature a broadsword-like blade mounted on a typical rapier hilt. The term dates back to the mid-16th century, and the sword was popular throughout 16th-and-17th century Western Europe, both for civilian use and as a military side arm. Rapiers are also popularly known as dueling weapons.
