Ahhh, now I get it. It was the shape of the spike you were referring to. Well, that's good news for me, as the piece I am referring to does indeed have a four sided spike. Likewise, in profile, it is wedge-shaped. The only thing is mine comes to a wicked spike that would penetrate sheet metal if swung. Time to get my teen daughter (the one more experienced than I with the modern gizmos

) to help me post pics...
Again, congrats on that rare sword, Dmitry, and especially for that price!
