Toward the end of the 17th century, a more sophisticated, shorter and lighter version of the rapier emerged as the tool of choice for personal carry and defense - the Small Sword. Its stiff, lightweight blade was forged in a triangular cross section, and the hilt was both simple and smartly functional, consisting of no more than an elliptical plate, or two shells, and a knuckle guard.
