"Close spaces" are never that closed. Especially in fiction where things are often bigger on the inside.

I disagree about that... ~7ft by ~4 is a reasonable size for a hallway... which is smaller than is required to flip the blade without war-scythe mode... as for the expectation Ruby would need to fight in such a space... as I said it's unlikely. Who would she fight? Criminals, maybe, but if they need to do damage/escape she can shoot them. Grimm? same thing... we have yet to be shown small armored Grimm, so 1 round should do it and it's a hard fit for the grimm as well... easy targets.

The rapier on the other hand... unless she's pressed to a wall like a dumbass by something she cannot penetrate or move with her sword + dust... a knife or other weapon is unlikely to help...
