MAIN GAUCHE

The rapier was often accompanied by a dagger termed a "main gauche," for the hand it was used in, gauche being French for "left," main for "hand." Back then, people were pretty serious about their fighting, and saw no reason to limit it to one hand. The left hand was used to ward off a thrust by slapping the blade, or to grab your opponent's blade. If that happened, you could stab your enemy, or even try to bend the blade if it were a thin-bladed weapon.

Reproduction main gauche. HRC121.
