The musketeer sword is the weapon of choice for a skilled musketeer in close combat. The French tradition of fencing is long and proud, and the musketeers are no exception. Fencing training is an elementary part of a musketeer's education, and if one can swing their sword, the chances of excellence and recognition are much higher. With its slim blade and good balance, the musketeer sword is designed for duels, so there is no excuse for not winning.
