True, just like the ubiquitous name we call swords of the renaissance with long narrow blades and complex handguards "Rapiers" when they didn't use that appelation at the time...and the Iberian recurved swords we call 'Falcata' instead of Kopis.
A rose by any other name would smell as sweet.
As long as we all use the same name for these briquet style hilts now, Alles In Ordnung.
(p.s.- Thanks for finding the '
