Just as the German Landsknecht has his Katzbalger, so did the Swiss Pikeman depend on his Baselard short sword. These were superb close combat weapons; fast, light, capable of both good cuts and effective thrusts. The weapon soon saw use throughout much of Europe. Complete with a utility knife and skewer for the various needs of any campaign. Sword comes with a scabbard to accommodate both the short sword, utility knife and skewer.
