An estoc (also foining sword or tuck (English term)) is a long bladed sword designed primarily for thrusting attacks. Introduced in the latter part of the 14th century, an estoc could have a triangular cross section helping to prevent the blade from flexing during a thrust.
The estoc was apparently quite popular in the 16th century where examples become similar in length to rapiers.
