Rapier

A rapier is a long, narrow sword, usually with a complex guard and a fine thrusting point. Rapiers are heavy, but the center of balance is near the hand, allowing for easy control. Rapiers are best on the thrust, but many can cut well enough. The popular perception of rapiers as being fragile weapons that break on contact with other swords or armor is certainly false--rapiers are more than robust enough to be used in fierce fighting, and many were used in war.
A host of fencing styles exist surrounding the rapier, and include its use alone, with a parry dagger or a buckler, or even wielding two rapiers at once, a style called the "case of rapiers."
In the Tattered Realms, the rapier is a newfangled weapon, probably native to Illegon. Sarah Gizka uses a rapier, and also uses its metal scabbard to parry with in her other hand.
