Default BULL FIGHTING WEAPONS

I SAW A GOOD OLD EXAMPLE OF A SPECIALIZED DAGGER ON EBAY RECENTLY. IT IS USED TO DISPATCH THE BULL AFTER IT IS DOWN, ADMINISTERING THE "THE COUP DE GRAS". IT IS A SPECIALIZED FORM FOR THE BULL RING BUT OTHER FORMS OF DAGGER MAY HAVE BEEN USED. NO DOUBT MANY FIND BULL FIGHTING BARBARIC AND CRUEL. BUT THERE IS A LOT MORE TO IT THAN JUST KILLING OR AT TIMES BEING KILLED SO PERHAPS SOME MAY LIKE TO LEARN OF THE WEAPONS USED.
#1. & #2. MADE IN TOLEDO, 13 INCHES OLDER BULLFIGHTING DAGGER OR HUNTING KNIFE
#3. A NEWER BULL FIGHTING DAGGER
#4. THE FULL RANGE OF WEAPONS WITH BLADES INVOLVED IN BULL FIGHTING. INCLUDING A DAGGER. THE SWORD HAS A SPECIALLY CURVED BLADE DESIGNED TO MISS THE BONES WHEN USED PERFECTLY AND MAKE A CLEAN THRUST TO THE HEART.
#5. SELECTION OF BULLFIGHTING DAGGERS
#6. BULLFIGHTING DAGGER
#7. BULLFIGHTING DAGGER OR HUNTING KNIFE
#8. BULLFIGHTER SWORD GRIP DETAIL
#9. BULLFIGHTER SWORD BLADE CURVE DETAIL
#10. HOW BULLFIGHTER GRIPS AND AIMS FOR THE THRUST.

NOTE THE EXPRESSION AT THE MOMENT WHEN EITHER YOU GET IT RIGHT OR PERHAPS YOU ARE BADLY INJURED OR KILLED.
THANKS FOR THE COMMENTS AS I HAVE NEVER SEEN A BULLFIGHT AND KNOW VERY LITTLE ABOUT IT BUT DO FIND THE SPECIALIZED WEAPONS INTERESTING.
