It is indeed interesting~ Collectors coin certain words but locals look nonplussed when confronted by these concocted terms..Cutlass may not have been used until the admiralty had these weapons officially enter service and they may previously have been simply Swords Naval..The word Fuller wasnt used til about 1850 by blacksmiths but the word used was hollows. French words abound for sword parts Pas Dain...Foible...Forte. One could be driven completey potty trying to discover the origin of Kittarah!!
