It is a rapier, not a colichemarde. T he shape of a colichemarde blade features a wide forte (often with several fullers), which then taper drastically toward the point after the fullers end, Myrtenaster tapers gradually, it has one fuller on each side and lacks the hexagonal or diamond cross-section that characterises a colichemarde. Plus, not only is the Colichemarde a descendant of the rapier, Monty Oum himself calls it a "Multi-action Dust Rapier"
