The main advantage of the blade tip became much more prevalent at the end of the 16th century. The rapier for one, was long, elegant, and was generally the man's first choice when it came to self-defense in those days of old. However the rapier was very unsuitable for combat with such narrow or crowded streets. over the years it gradually got better, shorter and lighter and thus prevailed the short sword as the main choice of arms.
