Rapier
The rapier was the weapon of choice for nobles living in the Elizabethan Era. It was an elegant sword that slowly replaced older swords. It was a long, narrow sword that could be used for both fencing and for sword fights. This weapon could be used for both cutting and stabbing.
Dagger
A shorter version of a sword, which wasn't very effective in a sword fight because of its small reach.
Basilard
A dagger with an h-shaped handle (double-edged) (Mahabal).
