Good Eyes Sir! My wife bought my main gauche for my noble's costume for Renaissance Faire. It features a button that releases two slim spring loaded smaller sections of the blade to jut away from the dagger at a 30 degree angle at each side of the blade. They act as blade "traps" to catch an opponents sword blade while executing a "bind". Apparently it is modeled after a real Elizabethan period weapon. My wife bought it for me. She thought that the idea was one would stick the blade into an enemy and then press the button and slice them them open. My wife... beautiul woman, good friend, wonderful mother, caring and intelligent veterinarian, and apparently a somewhat bloodthirsty amazon at heart it would seem.

I do not think that come July I will be wearing my Heavyweight Black "Shadow Tartan" Stillwater. My UK Mocker, absolutely. My Celtic Croft Economy, absolutely. My Stillwater Standard Hunting McCleod...maybe (if there is a breeze?). My Heavyweight? I think not. I'm just not into trying out sponaneous human combustion first hand.
Cheers
