|look=Crafted to favor balance and speed, the rapier features an intricate filigree basket-hilt to protect the user's hand.  The blade itself has the matte black finish which professional duelists insist makes the weapon hard for their opponent to follow.  No gaudy gems or gleaming engravings break the smooth lines of this weapon, just careful attention to detail that results in a superior blade.
