Exactly, Jasper,

Family there is none, but women - oh boy!

And of course lots of cats, just like in 'Nando's photo library!

If there was a contest for the 'forum pic of the year 2013', I would say we got it! Thanks a lot,my dear friend 'Nando, for your black 'composite' three-legged tomcat!

Ah, ah

By composite i was referring to the picture including both cats weapons. That is Adriano the 8,5 Kgs. four legged one

Here is Daniel, the three legged family member. He likes bizarre endroits

Now the contest who has the biggest is over.
lets try, I know it is not easy, to go back to the dagger.

The ergonomics of the handle of the rondel dagger implies that it was used almost exclusively in the underhand style .
apart from that, the overarm blow with a downward-pointing blade is much powerful than an underarm trust.
a overarm blow is a natural innate reflex of humans.

The image of a dagger fight in Solothurn fechtbuch around 1500, by the way with a dagger with bulky pommels of the type above, clearly illustrates this.
see also the study sketch of Durer, a hand that grasps a rondel dagger firmly.
