The sword of the day is the cinquedea.
This short sword originated in northern Italy during the renaissance. The name means “5 fingers,” which refers to the width of the blade at the guard. Though they didn’t all have the ornate engraving seen here, they did all possess multiple fullers; grooves that run down the blade and decrease weight without sacrificing too much structural integrity.

*this is a placeholder...originally the logo was going to be much more ornate and based on sigils.
Final cover for issue 1:

I love these blades. I’ve heard some speculation that the design might have to do with specific blade length laws in Venice. So they adapted the very long wide knives. I love how ornate the etching on the blades is
Almost forgot to post today’s Blades of May drawing. Here’s #6: a Cinquedea, a beautiful but brutal blade which vendetta brawlers in Italy would use as cleaver during gang fights

Another name for the cinquedea: "ox tongue"
page from Guide des amateurs d'armes et armures anciennes by Auguste Demmin (1869), translated as Weapons of War by C.C. Black (1870) who leaves the French "langue de boeuf" untranslated.
Italian postcard (c. 1930s) from the Royal Armoury of Turin, calling it "lingua di bue"
