Cinquedea
The cinquedea is a short sword that is very simple for people to use. It's usually carried instead of someone who wants more of a weapon than a simple knife, but someone isn't rich enough to buy a larger sword, or someone who wants a sneakier weapon. The name Cinquedea means five fingers, which refers to its blade beside the pommel that is five fingers in width. The weapon is typically sheathed laterally on the lower back, right above the waistline for an easy draw. This weapon was most popular in Northern Italy.
