The small sword is considered to be a descendant of the "transition rapier", which itself evolved from the rapier due to the demand for a lighter sword better suited to parrying. The shape of a colichemarde blade features a wide forte (often with several fullers), which then tapered drastically toward the point after the fullers ended. The blade cross section was hexagonal or diamond shaped. This configuration combines good parrying characteristics with good thrusting characteristics. Its lighter weight and superior balance compared to the rapier allowed faster and more accurate movement of the blade, allowing the fencer to place a more precise thrust on their adversary.

- Colichemarde returns as a mid-ranked rapier that provides 38 Attack, 2 Speed, and immunity to Berserk. It teaches Magick↑ to the Red Mage for 150 AP, and can be obtained from the Bazaar from the "Power Within C" category.
- Colichemarde is a special type of blade that was forged and considered a member of the family of small swords from the late 17th century to the middle 18th century. Due to a partial resemblance in shape the colichemarde is considered to be a descendant of the Rapier. The shape of a colichemarde combines good Parrying qualities with good thrusting abilities and the ability to fence faster. This was achieved thanks to a wide forte (often with several fullers), which then stepped down in width after the fullers ended. Since its invention, the blade has undergone many modifications, though it was one of the most popular types of small swords.

- Colichemarde is a special type of blade that was forged and considered a member of the family of small swords from the late 17th century to the middle 18th century. Due to a partial resemblance in shape the colichemarde is considered to be a descendant of the Rapier. The shape of a colichemarde combines good Parrying qualities with good thrusting abilities and the ability to fence faster. This was achieved thanks to a wide forte (often with several fullers), which then stepped down in width after the fullers ended. Since its invention, the blade has undergone many modifications, though it was one of the most popular types of small swords. The result of this strange shape was a higher maneuverability of the sword: with the weight of the blade concentrated in one's hand it became possible to maneuver the blade at a greater speed and with a higher degree of control, allowing the fencer to place a precise thrust at his/her adversary. The cross sections of some types of blades were hexagonal or diamond shaped.
