The swordbreaker, a type of parrying dagger designed to hook onto swinging blade and disable it.
One good whack against a sword and that blade will shatter.

Saw a video on that fairly recently, by a historian/re-enactment/specialist type. They reckon is was probably just a show piece, rather than actually useful.

What era is it from? Might it not actually be useful against someone with a rapier?

It's Sandy FFS. He was such a balanced poster (in favour of the Stormers) but has lost it ever since finding out that one Saffa bordie paid for a Covid vaccine.

Unfortunately the Graun changed the pic, despite the article about not being able to find the vulva they had a pic of ovaries instead.

To determine whether or not it was racist, there is only one question you need to ask: would the headline have been "Three White players miss" if it had been Kane, Macguire, and Shaw who had missed their penalties?
We all know the answer to that question.

At the risk of defending racists, the headline IS relevant to the story.
If the players had been white, the allegations of racist abuse would not have arisen.

The story about racist abuse would have been valid without the headline.

Hmm.
"Three players in the penalty shootout which England lost 3-2 to Italy."
I do get your point, but I'm starting to feel that there is enough for one to get one's knickers in a twist over these days without manufacturing outrage.

Not really, where they used the word Black is completely wrong.
