Lutel has an interesting line of weapons. As the company is situated in the Czech Republic, the weapons have a decided Central European flavour. I saw that they have started producing the near-mythical dussack, and that it is pretty close to the only known surviving steel dusack. It can be found on http://www.lutel.cz under ”Knives”, costing c. USD 120. If you are interested in the weapon, read Christoph Amberger’s interesting article on http://www.swordhistory.com/home.html. The rough, off-the-forge finish appears to be true to the original, and is an interesting contrast to the eye-candy posted by my colleagues... ;)

I've been interested in getting a pair of these, myself. Gene George and I had a conversation about them, too, and I know he's interested in them as well. My guess is that very few people in the 'net community really have much knowledge of these weapons.

I really like them. I've read those articles before a long time ago when researching the Tesak-Dusack-Dusagge but lost track of them....

Time to update the bookmarks file!
