Our sword derives its
named from the Spanish
adventurer Francisco
Pizzaro who carried a
sword of similar design.
Transitional cut and
thrust swords such as
our Pizzaro could be
called the precursor to
the rapier. Designed
primarily for thrusting
to accommodate the
evolving fighting
techniques of the early
1500s, it still had
enough mass to lend
incase one needed to
hack at something or
someone. The early style
compound guard still
offered the traditional
and stylish S-curved
quillons of earlier era
swords, but also had
both a knuckle bow and
pas d’ane or finger
rings for protecting the
forefinger when the
sword is gripped with
the finger extended over
the guard at the ricasso.
