The rapiers of the 17th and 18th Centuries were elegant weapons for a more civilized age. Gentlemen among both the Sith and Jedi would use them in formal duels. To wear one was a mark of distinction, so it is good that Saberforge, a company that manufactures lightsabers, now offers a lightsaber rapier.
I, however, am not a gentleman and would prefer something blunter, like the lightsaber battleaxe. Hack at your enemy when he doesn't expect it.
