	TherionArms - Steel dussack (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		The dussack (or dussagge) was a German training weapon from the 1600's.
		Dussack were usually made from wood or leather, and a training/sparring bout had the "victory" condition of fighting until the first bleeding head wound.
		This dussack is 3/16" thick at the spine, tapering near the point of the blade.

		The Dussack appears to have replaced the Messer, a long, single-edged cutting weapon similar to the Italian cordelaggio and the falchion, which is depicted in the earliest German sources.
		Brun's Dussack, for example, placed on the ground in front of an attacking halberd fencer, features a distinct complex hilt.
		And except for a short-lived revival at the University of Vienna in the 1880s, it has taken until the beginning of the 21st century to rekindle an interest in their practical reconstruction.

	Dussack Knife
		Each Dussack is made from a single piece of steel and is clearly a “no frills” cutting weapon!
		Because of it’s simple and functional design, it was favored by commoners, who needed a knife that could be used for a variety of purposes.
		The Dussack served well for hunting, farm and fieldwork, domestic chores and of course as a fighting knife against enemy attacks.

	Sabre-fencing - LoveToKnow 1911
		There was indeed a heavy curved fencing weapon called dussack, very popular in the German fencing schools of the 16th and 17th centuries, which was of wood, very broad and as long as the fencer's arm, with an elliptical hole for the hand in place of a guard.
		But the dussack was introduced from Bohemia, where, as in Hungary, swords were oriental in shape, and as it completely disappeared in the last half of the 17th century it can hardly be considered in any way as the ancestor of the modern sabre.
		The old English back-sword, the traditional English weapon, though the curved form was not quite unknown, was almost invariably straight.

		Dussack / Messer The grosse messer or "big knife" was aptly named, generally being a large single edged knife or sword, similar to a machete.
		Fencing with the messer was gradually replaced in the 16th century by the dussack, a curved single edged sword.
		The weight, characteristics, and use of the dussack carried on in the heavy cavalry sabers of later centuries.

		The Dussack appears to have replaced the Messer, a long, single-edged cutting weapon similar to the Italian cordelaggio and the falchion, which is depicted in the earliest German sources.
		While most of the Dussack images from the 16th and 17th century depict fencers wearing what would amount to their street clothes, other sources indicate that, there was indeed a certain degree of protective gear involved at the Fechtschul Dussack displays.
		At this late point in the Dussack's development, the head is protected by a turban-like cap or wrap.

		Even if it sometimes may have happened that the fencing master held out his staff to favor someone when it was not strictly necessary to protect him, but only to prevent the other from seizing the advantage, yet the proceedings seem always to have been conducted with great exactness and justice.
		Fencers wounded by the sword had their heads bandaged and were sitting on a bench against the long wall, while the Dussack fencers "had great rising stripes on their faces and heads, so that at times they looked unrecognizable," covered their lumps with damp cloths and thronged together in a corner.
		There was particular applause for two Dussack fencers who made twelve passes without either of them being beaten, which of course did not cause the red bag to open in sympathy.

		Whether one calls those compact weapons falchions, dussacks, hangers or cutlasses, they were among the most popular military swords of their day.
		The form of its hilt may be related to the Sinclair I hilt type, which Ewart Oakeshott informs us was common during the same period and frequently was mounted on falchion blades.
		Although the Del Tin Dussack is 13 ounces heavier than the original it otherwise mimics so well, please note that, as with all Del Tin swords, the Dussack features a blunt edge (flat, in fact) due either to legal restrictions or European reenactor preferences.

	Online Library: Paulus Hector Mair, c1550
		The stances with the dussack and the techniques illustrated are again, common to those found in Jakob Sutor's manuscript entitled "Künstliches Fechtbüch", 1612, however, Mair's manuscript is far more extensive on the subject of dussack than Sutor's.
		plate 123L, the individual's posture on the right is a classic dussack position, which is very similar to plate 34 in Sutor's manuscript.
		plate 124R, which depicts the left individual deploying what appears to be a "half-sword" technique with the dussack, which doesn't appear in the Sutor's manuscript.

	Dussak - weapon or training tool? - Page 2 - Sword Forum International
		The Messer comes closer to the Dussack, but it still is not the same.
		It seems to me that the Dussack is a weapon that stand quite on it's own.
		And yet scars on the face were 'popular' with the Prussian military at the turn of the last century for similar reasons - I suspect this was where the idea came from.

		For example, in the early 1600s, the plebeians’ fighting weapon of choice was the Dussack.
		Unlike the subtle self defense products of recent times, the Dussack was a multi-purpose cutting weapon.
		But in this day of the millennia, the closest equivalent of the Dussack would be the self defense knife.

		The katzbalger's blade bit into the wooden edge of Link's dussack; using this point as a fulcrum, Link used his forward momentum to pivot his pommel into the mouth of the guard with his primary hand while he grabbed the soldier's opposite shoulder with his off hand.

		It may have influenced the later Fechtbuch produced by Joachim Meyer in 1570, known as Kunst des Fechtens or "The Art of Fighting." Meyer was a fencing master from Strassburg.
		The writings of Mair and Meyer both included fighting techniques with newer weapons, such as the dussack and rapier, as well as the earlier ones like the longsword, dagger, flail, staff, and other pole arms.
		The illustrations in Meyer included much more intricate backgrounds, set in an imaginary fencing school.

		On the other hand, the fighting manuals have a lot of material that seems designed specifically to humiliate an opponent, particularly during a duel.
		(Frank Hunt discussed this, in the context of dussack fighting, in a lecture he gave during the Symposium for Historical Swordsmanship, held at the Center for Renaissance Studies at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst this past April.
		Sadly, Frank wasn't able to demonstrate the technique for throwing your opponent into a sack with the help of two friends.)
