""Much like the Cinquedea during the Renaissance, this earlier weapon was developed in an effort to be an all-in-one weapon - something larger than a dagger, yet more compact and versatile than a short sword with similar cutting power. There were no doubt many reasons for carrying the Coustille. It was short enough to pass as a dagger in the walled towns and cities where only nobles were allowed to carry a sword openly, but it was still long and wide enough to defend against a sword attack. It was easy to ride with, as it could be thrust under a belt in varying positions. It has been suggested that the Coustille was favored by the typical man-at-arms for the main purpose of cutting the throats of prisoners that could not pay a ransom! Popular with knights as well as the rank and file, The well-tempered blade is light and very fast. Steel pommel and guard with a wood grip covered in leather. Includes Scabbard. Made by Windlass Steelcrafts
