The rapier is a slender, sharply pointed sword that emerged in Early Modern Europe during the 16th and 17th centuries. Designed primarily for thrusting attacks, it allowed duelists and civilians to engage in fast, precise combat, emphasizing skill, speed, and technique over brute force. While primarily used for thrusts, historical treatises also describe cutting and slashing techniques, making it a versatile weapon in skilled hands.

Beyond its practical use in self-defense and dueling, the rapier became a symbol of status and refinement, often carried by nobles and gentlemen as part of their attire. Its lightweight, elegant design encouraged the development of intricate fencing styles, influencing the art of swordsmanship across Europe for generations.
