A Medieval Period Coustille Short Sword - Dagger
with Scabbard
by Windlass Steelcrafts
"Much like the cinquedea during the Renaissance, this earlier weapon was developed in an effort to ban an all-in-one weapon, with the convenience of a dagger but the cutting power of a short sword. The were no doubt many reasons for carrying the coustille. It was short enough to pass as a dagger in the walled towns and cities were 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 the 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!"
"The well-tempered and deadly blade is light and fast. It has a steel pommel and guard with a wood grip covered in leather.
Finely crafted by Windlass Steelcrafts."
The blade is 17 inches long, 2-1/8 inches wide, and 3/16 inches thick. T
he overall length is 23 inches. It weighs 2-1/2 lb.
It remains in as-new condition.
