This
slender sword typifies the style of weapons used by the Scottish and
their Irish cousins in the mid 13th century. Its tapered 30 inch blade
and heavy wheel pommel make it an amazingly balanced and swift weapon
capable of both slashing and thrusting. Though the wheel pommel’s first
job is to add balance to a sword, in a pinch this heavy piece of steel
held close to the bottom of the fist could double as a bludgeoning tool.
This tactic gave birth to the term pummeling. The forward sloped lobed
quillons make it possible for a skilled swordsman to entangle his
opponent’s weapon allowing him the chance to over power a lesser man
with either a second weapon like a dirk, or simply by grappling the
opponent and wrestling him to the ground. (Leather
Scabbard Included)
