Okay, wrong set of words. They have a different blade and concept. Swords are made to slash and be effective all-around, daggers are made for secondary quick counters and attacks, sometimes even quick parries, katanas are designed to slice swiftly relying on speed more than weight, and the scimitar's blade is designed to slash as well, but have a different effectiveness than normal, T-shaped swords.

Rapiers are designed to thrust quickly, instead of slashing (they can, but it's not their focus), and much less depend on the weight to cause damage, like Swords do, especially Longswords and Greatswords.
