Originating from Spain as the Espada, the Rapier's characteristic slenderness and sharp point design is used as a thrusting weapon, as opposed to side cutting or slashing. Perhaps the most recognizable characteristic of the Rapier is its guard, usually using a complex and intricate swept hilt design used to protect the hand.
