Lauri,
A Rapier is a small knife (a fighting dagger) I think, so perhaps an Alpine is
an even smaller one. Not sure if the saying si known in Finland, but 'stand
and deliver' is olde speak for a hold up - as in 'give me your money.

As in, first I produced a small knife, then a larger one, but he still wanted
to take my money.

Cheers,
Paul.
