Originating from Spain as the Espada, the Rapier's characteristic slenderness and sharp point design is used as 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.
