<p>Moved comment from article</p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>Whoever wrote the above statement is absolutely incorrect and should remove it. <br /> <br /> A side sword, or spada da lato (Italian) is the generic term for a transitional rapier/complex-hilted double edged sword of the late 15th/16th Century. It is also commonly referred to as a &quot;cut and thrust&quot; sword. Blades vary enormously in their dimensions, but are predominantly wider and heavier than later rapiers to allow for effective cutting as well as thrusting.</div>
