Let's take a look at an original Italian rapier from about 1600 that has an impressively long blade. Clearly made for reach, in a way that fencing master Capo Ferro would approve of.
The intricate shape, handling, and ornamental touches are above and beyond most of what you see on the sword reproduction market, at least outside of expensive custom made high-tier replicas.
