 |
|
I've recently been discussing with someone about smallswords that have blades which are set to a slight cant from the grip. This is something seen in modern fencing weapons, but I've never seen (or at least I've never noticed) an example of an antique piece that does this. Has anyone else? Pictures would be especially welcome.
