The Cut & Thrust Sword, also called Side Sword, is the direct evolution of the Longsword and features a well-balanced structure, with a elaborated hilt with bars an loops that protect the wielder's hand and put the weapon's point of balance closer to the grip; theCut & Thrust Sword has a blade equally suited for slashing and thrusting, sharing some characteristics with the longsword and some with rapier.
With Exotic Weapon Proficiency, a wielder gains +2 circumstance bonus on any checks to resist being disarmed and can apply the Weapon Finesse feat to a cut & thrust sword sized for you, even though it is not a light weapon.
Without Exotic Weapon Proficiency, the Cut & Thrust Sword can be used as a martial weapon: in that case it functions as a longsword.
Characters proficient with the cut & thrust sword may treat it as a longsword or a rapier for purposes of any of the following feats: Greater Weapon Focus, Greater Weapon Specialization, Improved Critical, Weapon Focus, and Weapon Specialization.
