Sword “Breaker“ or Sword “Catcher“?

Tod’s reproduction of a Renaissance Sword “Breaker“ or is it a ’sword catcher’? Most likely named by the Victorians, these unusual looking daggers were actually used to catch and control an opponent’s rapier blade and so Sword “Catcher“ would probably be a more accurate name. If you would like to support my work on this channel you can always buy my fantastic reproduction medieval weaponry available here If you are interested in custom historical weapons have a look at Shot on location at Kentwell Hall, Suffolk, UK. The most extraordinary place and the reason I started making historical replicas. Thank You.
