For the record I find rapiers to be approximately a half dozen times more sexy than katanas and every time someone draws some sword porn type image fetishizing the katana I grumble to someone close to me. I mean, it's a good lookin' sword, but its not the only one, you know? Come on people. Besides, your Japanophile fursona will never be as cool as Leonardo of the Ninja Turtles... he had two.

I had to look that up, and wonder if you spelled it wrong because there aren't a lot of its for cinqueda on google image search, and the few there were had strait blades. But yes, there is a whole world of rare exotic or otherwise interesting edged weapons, and katanas are overplayed. So I doodled this thing in... um, in protest I guess?

People not only over-look the beauty of European swords, but also they dismiss their craftmanship. The rapier was to french nobles what the katana was to samurai off the battlefield: A sign of status and a way to save face should someone mouth off at you.
But enough history lessons! Excellent job on this one, the hilt and hand guard are especially well done
