This is a beautiful example Norman! and these French versions (cuttoe) were so elegant, not only in the hilt design, but overall character. They were beautifully appointed and light, which seems to have fallen in line with the conventions of French swordsmanship of these times. While in the fashion of the couteau de chasse, it is not hard to imagine these being a formidable weapon in close quarters.
