For clarification, some swords were known as "thrust and cut" weapons. However, the swords used in the film, with the exception of Porthos', are designed purely for thrusting. The sharpened edges on the blades that appear in certain scenes were designed historically to help the blade get through tough material (like leather) during the thrust. These facts result in some rather direct mistakes in swordplay in the film. In particular, the final duel between Rochefort and D'Artagnan shows many errors. For a key example, during this duel Rochefort attempts several times to attack D'Artagnan by sweeping his rapier in a downward or sideways ark as if to slash him. In reality, the swords used lack both the weight and rigidity to inflict more than a superficial surface wound.
