Around 1450, the long sword, often called "one-and-a-half", was widely used in war, but it was also often a weapon of self-defense for civilians. Coupled to a dagger it was excellent against thieves, brigands and assassins, often organized into gangs that roamed the countryside.

Equipped with a good tip and adequate length, it allowed opponents to be kept at a distance. Its average weight allowed it to be used easily with one hand, in combination with the dagger in the other. Moreover, thanks to the length of the handle, it could be used with both hands to have greater control and perform very powerful cuts.
