Yest they existed and started on 16th C estoc swords or Tuck as in the picture. Later also on rapiers, but these are rare. These blade were thick at the base and long , like 100cm or more and longer.
The blade type became more common in the 18th C on small swords, but shorter like around 80 cm lenght for the blade.
Please show us some pictures perhaps its possible to define it better.
kind regards
