		The German Katzbalger also fits into this category and A&A's rendition is a fine example of the type.
		I was most impressed with the workmanship on the Katzbalger.
		The overall feeling of the Katzbalger is one of devastating utility.

	Two-handed katzbalger? - NetSword Discussion Forums
		They were still zweihanders due to their weight, length and specific blade design even though the katzbalger hilt might indeed look somewhat out of place on a two-handed sword.
		That said, a katzbalger guard on a zweihander is still a great (if not extreme) rarity.
		The guards look more like a double loop, but that's clearly a problem with perspective in the woodcut, as several of the landsknechts have traditional short katz's and the guards are identical to those on the big-uns.

		Katars ceased to be in common use in the 19th century.
		A Katzbalger is a short renaissance arming sword, notable for its sturdy build and a distinctive s-shaped or figure-8 shaped guard.
		Measuring from 75-85 cm long and weighing 1-2 kg, it the was the signature blade of the landsknecht.

	A&A Katzbalger - NetSword Discussion Forums
		posted 12-11-2002 08:53 PM I would suggest that a Katzbalger is not defined by size but style of hilt and a blade of fairly parallel proportions.
		There are many examples of them being two handed in size in art and a version like the one depicted in the painting would be down right average.
		On the far right is a katzbalger with a longer blade and a point.

	TherionArms - Landsknecht katzbalger (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		In the brutal and murderous confusion of battle, the kaltzbalger was a very effective sword - short enough for close combat, yet long enough for slashing and cutting.
		The katzbalger proved itself effective on many a battlefield.
		The sword was equipped with a large figure eight guard that protects the hand if the opposing sword should slide down the blade.

	myArmoury.com - The Reproductions of A&A (photo-intensive)
		It does add some detail to the reproduction but when pieces deviate from their originals it's usually beacuse details were left out not added to.
		It would be a cool piece to have but so would the GBS and the 15th century two-hander, writhen rapier, german branch sword etc. The katzbalger in paricular I am very curious about.
		My review of the Katzbalger is several years old, but at the time of that review the sword did feature a pronounced ricasso.

	Preamble
		At his side was an elaborate katzbalger with twisted quillions and a well-lacquered grip.
		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.
		Unbuckling the katzbalger he still carried from the prison escape, he tossed it onto the dusty road, having decided to shirk the insanity.

		To the right is a photo of our katzbalger model series of hilts.
		This design was popular with the German Landsknechts of the 16th Century.

	Sword Forum International - Who makes a good, low-cost cutter?
		Perhaps you might want to have a look at it, the price seems fine and the hilt does have elements of the classical katzbalger hilt, together with an S-guard.
		I have an old katzbalger that would make a great project.
		I ripped the handle off that katzbalger and replaced it with something else.

	Katzbalger guards - vikingsword.com forums
		It seems like the norm among katzbalgers is the "S"-shaped guard.
		I'm a bit leery about the "A katzbalger assembled from high quality pieces." part; sounds like a composite to me. Plus the rather atypical length (110 cm/ c.

	#149 Katzbalger
		Their unique form of side arm was the Katzbalger (Cat Fight).
		Designed for the close in, hand to hand combat of a melee, these weapons were often shorter than other broadswords but very quick in action.
		We have also created a matching Katzbalger dagger Item #150 to accompany the sword.

	People: Nan, partly out of penury, partly out of something more noble,
		I made a sheath oug of wood, covered it with leather, and it is...
		I still have to weld a bolt to it, then consider a handle.
		(I'm leaning towards stag, but that's more for a knife, not a sword.) The hilt has to be the appropriate shape for a Katzbalger, and maybe my forge and vise will help to shape it.

		Cassandra Alexandra strikes Anna Zirski with her weak Katzbalger Light Slash attack.
		Wether she's hiding what she may know, or not know is an unknown for the time being, as she swings that same sword yet again, only this time it goes lower.
		To be blunt, it's used by people who either refuse to commit themselves to each other formally, or can't because of tradition or laws, and yet they are willing to commit themselves in....

		Careful there Katzbalger, you almost made my favorite anime look bad, but you're right it should be rated M. Oh, don't get me wrong, I love GTO too.
		But the fact is, if some person who finds this kind of stuff offensive walks in while you're watching it, a bad rep gets slapped onto you.
