The blade of a small sword is comparatively short at around , though some reach over . It usually tapers to a sharp point but may lack a cutting edge. It is typically triangular in cross-section, although some of the early examples still have the rhombic and spindle-shaped cross-sections inherited from older weapons, like the rapier.

It is thought to have appeared in France a ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
