It looks a bit like a modified rapier, but I can't be certain. The blade has a passing resemblance to a dirk, which is a type of dagger, but with the length of it, there is more resemblance to a rapier. Nice bladed weapon. : )

I'd say rapier. I think skyshroud is right. The second pic is an estoc.

Estoc: A variation on the longsword that was only recently designed by the weaponsmiths of Lanton for attacking knights in heavy armor. It has a stiff and sturdy blade, three to four feet long, with a triangular or diamond-shaped cross-section, no cutting edges, and a chiseled point. It is designed to split through the rings of chain mail, or find the joints and crevices in plate armor. It can be used as either a one-handed or two-handed weapon, and the handle is long enough to accommodate either. Metamor weaponsmiths have nicknamed it the "tuck".

The first is a rapier. The second is not an estoc. It is too short (judging by the pommel size), as estocs are the size of longswords. The image on the right is IMO rather an arming sword, perhaps type XV or XVIII.
