A Dagger and A Lesson In Proper Weaponry Terms
I just received a new dagger from my aunt.
It's a handmade dagger from my late Uncle Gus. He was a knife collector whose collection even rival's Zack's sword collection, and that, is saying something.
The blade is curved, though double-edged.
Also the blade is brittle, and rusted, but still in good condition.
The hilt, however, is a wooden handle to some house-hold item that I can't confirm, and there is and extra tree sticking out of the pommel.
By tree, I mean like this.
-|- The things that stick out from the area where the hilt (the handle) meets the blade are called tree's. Also, the pommel is the ornament that sticks out at the bottom of the hilt.
Call me dumb, but I think I'm going to name the weapons I get.
I'll name them how I received them.
For instance, the dagger my aunt gave me, I found some tiny, tiny letters scratched into one of the tree's.
It said something like, "Thisk," or "Thenisk." It's very difficult to say, so I'll call the dagger the "Thisk Dagger."
I bought a katana at the Smoky Mountain Knife Factory in Kentucky, and of course, the factory is located in a town by the Smoky Mountains, so I'll call the katana, "The Fog Katana." Smoke Katana doesn't sound that great to me. Besides, smoke is like fog, and when you breathe on the blade, you can see your breath on it, and then it fades, like fog...Doesn't make sense, but oh well.
This post is getting too long.
