Smallsword (3.5e Equipment)

The smallsword is similar to the rapier in many respects, but with a hollow, triangular blade, allowing for reduced weight at the cost of durability. Primarily used for fencing and dueling, these swords are popular with nobility and intricately decorated, masterwork smallswords are often given to senior officers as a sign of rank. Smallswords usually have hilts with knuckle-guards, side-rings and quillons. As it is a light weapon, you can use the Weapon Finesse feat to apply your Dexterity modifier instead of your Strength modifier to attack rolls with a smallsword.
