When was the dagger vs the pugio used
#26
All in all I agree with you.

Just to react:

Quote:During one of those time, you might find yourself pressed up against your shield, unable to use your sword, you might be able to looked down to the scabbard, hanging up against your side and slid your sword into it, then while still unable to move your arms much, use the pugio.

Yes, you're right. I could slide my sword into scabbard IF I had enough space.

Quote:I’m sure there were rare times that they found themselves without a sword or even with a broken one, you thrust into the enemy, and the soldier next to him, swings at your sword, hitting it on the flat side, the weak side, and snaps it in two.

This situation has happened one of my group members. :wink:
