Shotel Sword Training

The shotel is a thin, broadly circular-bladed sword, often referred to as a 'sickle sword'. This term is also applied to many similar curved weapons, such as the scimitar, the Persian shamshir and the Egyptian khopesh. The blade on a shotel differed from that of a shamshir or a kopesh in that it was nearly a full semi-circle, meaning it was a far more awkward weapon to wield. In the hands of an experienced swordsman, however, the shotel's potential to deal death was magnified. Its unique design allowed the user to reach around their opponent's shield, either pulling it away to expose their bodies or going straight for a mortal wound with a single swing; when used against cavalry, the shotel was also used to hook and pull the enemy warrior from their horse.
