A two-edged "dagger"
An ancient knife also known as the "Smagliatore", this new type of weapon dictated by the needs of warfare and made its appearance around the 13th century: it was the "Sfondagiacco", a two-edged dagger with a very strong blade and a reinforced tip, often in the "brocco" style (long and sharp). This historic knife was used to penetrate the "giacco", i.e. the chain mail shirt worn under the surcoat and later under the armour, with a deadly thrust. It was widely used by battlefield 'scavengers' who used it to finish off dying soldiers before proceeding to strip them of anything of value.Varianti disponibili:
