4. cutlasses The Silver Cutlass Sword was used to pierce chain mail. Alfanje is a Castilian term that comes from the Hispanic Arabic al-janyar, which means dagger, and designates a sword with a wide, curved blade, with an edge on only one side (or counter-edge on its last third) that during the Middle Ages and until the Renaissance was used in the Iberian Peninsula, a good part of the Mediterranean and especially in Italy. In ancient Vulgar Spanish it was also known as terciado.

Its main characteristics, the guard that rises towards the fist on one side falling towards the blade on the other, and the widening and curvature of its blade. It remains in this stylized Moorish cutlass of our production, remembering that Toledo, also during its Arab period, was a very important center of sword making.
