1. See Damage Increases by Size to calculate the damage for a weapon larger than Medium or smaller than Small.
2. Weight figures are for Medium weapons. A Small weapon weighs half as much, and a Large weapon weighs twice as much.
3. When two types are given, the weapon is both types if the entry specifies "and", either type (player's choice at time of attack) if the entry specifies "or", or each end of the double weapon is a different type if the entry specifies "/".
4. The hp value given is for Medium armor, weapons, and shields. Divide by 2 for each size category of the item smaller than Medium, or multiply it by 2 for each size category larger than Medium.

The Cut & Thrust Sword, also called Side-Sword, is the direct evolution of the Longsword and features a well-balanced structure, with a elaborated hilt with bars an loops that protect the wielder's hand and put the weapon's point of balance closer to the grip; the Cut & Thrust Sword has a blade equally suited for slashing and thrusting.

With Exotic Weapon Proficiency, a wielder can apply the Weapon Finesse feat to a cut & thrust sword sized for you, even though it is not a light weapon.

Without Exotic Weapon Proficiency, the Cut & Thrust Sword can be used as a martial weapon: in that case it functions as a Longsword.

Characters proficient with the Cut & Thrust Sword may treat it as a Longsword for purposes of any of the following feats: Greater Weapon Focus, Greater Weapon Specialization, Improved Critical, Weapon Focus, and Weapon Specialization.
