This isn’t a bug, its intended. Regardless of its attributes, rapiers are made of metal, using a blade with a tang and a hilt. This is something a weaponsmith would make, not an engineer. Additionally, the hatchet has an axe head, but the shaft is made of wood and has a complimentary throwing mastery tree, which would require an engineer to make sure the hatchet is properly balanced and aerodynamic.
