While Myrtenaster does look like a sturdy blade with some cutting power behind it I highly doubt it would be able to remove limbs, rapiers just weren't designed to do that. The rapier was designed to be a duelling weapon, all surviving manuals written by rapier masters and surviving rapiers from the 16th century onwards show that the weapon was desinged to be used for thrusting more than cutting. Don't get me wrong rapiers can cut and I'm certain Myrtenaster would be able to cut better than most rapiers, it still would not have the capability to remove limbs; rapiers just don't have that kind of weight behind them.
