Never; better call it "triple concave blade". How's that ?

Keeled is perfect, although my original foliate would have done the trick. But since you don't like foliate, I'm willing to use the alternate Keeled or "de quilla". I don't think the word "quillado" exists in The Language...

Then, we could always create it...Hmmm.: )

Yes, we have "quilhado" over here; from the verb quilhar, which either means to mount a keel or to prejudice someone.

At last, proper terminology.

LOL!!!
Beautiful Cornelis, thank you for finally resolving this with the actual term used....notes adjusted accordingly.

Manolo, you have been right all along and actually when it comes down to it, botanical terms are indeed often used in sword descriptions.....leaf shaped, in China the 'willow leaf', as are some of the Indian blade shapes.

Glen, thank you for mentioning Scott, it makes me happy to see him still in the tumble here!!! He was a great guy!!!

All the best,
Jim

What about this one; a fine Niepoort harvest, bottled in a limited edition to comemorate the 25 years of the Portuguese Academy of Antique Arms ... featuring a 18th century "Molinhas" lock.

[fearn]

If someone can give me good translations for those terms, I think I can photoshop those images into English at least. Or Portuguese.

(...drooling.)

What is a Molina's lock? A glorified Galician Patilla?



[No, really. What's the difference? ]

Vinho verde, Oporto, Madeira...
Portuguese may not know how to speak Cristiano...but who cares?

Bo Nadal!
