It's also got a strip of 14ga steel riveted down the middle with truss head rivets and the strip has a rough ridge down t...

Although I couldn't show you the specific reference, I believe Fiore used a pommel strike in unarmoured combat (more of a jab with the butt end of the sword) and in the armoured halfswording techniques there was a panel with an armoured man grasping the sword blade like an axe and driving the sharp ...

You won't find that kind of a deal by any private seller here in the States or elsewhere. Ebay may be the only other p...
