about one-piece iron "dusacks"?

kronckew · 19th August 2011, 08:51 AM

found this one via google images search on 'dusack sword' (also try 'dussack' spelling variant)

parent site was in hungarian by the way

were a few more images of dusacks, mostly repros & woodcut prints. found one interesting japanese version you might want to see....

parent site in japanese

i've always assumed the hilts would be wrapped in leather to improve the grip.

Thanks. One can see the relation in the European piece to bill hook handles with hooks.
The Japanese one is wicked looking.
