The Degenbrecher, or \u201cSword Destroyer,\u201d was a real and unique weapon used in medieval and Renaissance Europe. Originally wielded in the off-hand for parrying, or even as a primary weapon these stiff blades were designed to trap, disarm, or damage an opponent\u2019s sword using ribbed notches along one edge. While their primary function was defensive, the opposite edge was often sharpened for offensive use. Slightly larger than typical parrying daggers, versions like this allowed for both control and cutting.<\/p>\n
