Hi Freddy, I noticed on the scabbard of the Shi sword, a short 'protrusion' jutting out at 90 degrees. Do you know if it has a function.....was thinking it could be useful for 'hooking' shields.

This is not one of the thin blade types. This would pierce even the thickest armour of doubt. With a neat skull and face smashing pommel

It's interesting that Congoblades Yaka sword looks like the Celtic leaf bladed swords from 1st -3rd century AD?

Mine too has this piece and also the others seen on books. All have a hole so i think that is for a belt to hang the sword on shoulder or so
