短剑

意式短剑 (意大利语: Stiletto) [1]是一种刀身细长、刀尖如针的特殊匕首,通常为三棱锥形,其主要攻击方式为刺击[2][3]

短剑的横竖两部分相交处较狭窄,刀身呈渐尖状,这两点能减轻刺入时遭遇的摩擦力,使得刀身能刺得更深[2][4]。部分人将短剑视作一种匕首,但绝大多数短剑都是专门的刺击武器,设计时没考虑过切割和劈砍功能[2][5]

起源

[编辑]

意式短剑在中世纪开始声名鹊起,当时它作为对抗重装骑士的工具而流行,因为它的薄刀片可以灵活地穿过链甲

此外,短剑是刺客最喜欢的武器之一,因为它是一种易于隐藏的武器,可以藏在袖子里或斗篷下。

几个世纪以来,它几乎总是被认为是一种特别阴险的武器,并且在不同时期,其携带和使用自然是被禁止的。[6][7]
