Terciado

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Cutlass or terciado.

Terciado was an Iberian name for a variety of swords or sabres from the Low Middle Ages to the Renaissance,[1] characterized by short, one-edged blades which were described as lacking a third of a usual blade's length (hence terciado, meaning lacking a third).[2] It was generally considered either related or applied to a cutlass,[3] although it was sometimes applied to a falchion too.[4]
