Thank you.

The way i humbly view it, slender (rapier) blades may be seen both in cup hilts as in swept hilts, etc. Their particular purpose is that of engaging in dueling scenes, requiring some (school) fencing skill. Broad blades are more the basics, appearing both in military gear as in unsophisticated civilian hands. We may say they are fit for a dual purpose as, besides heavy slashing, they may also do the job in thrusting. - Last edited by fernando; 17th April 2024 at 11:39 AM. Reason: Spell |
