Fiore: Dagger: 3rd Master: 7th Play (Fol 14r)
3rd Master — 7th Play (Fol 14r)
Section: Fiore: Dagger
Source Text and Drawing
This is the counter of the third King, thus that which plays with the backhand. I make against him this lock. Armoured or unarmoured it is good and safe. And if I grab an unarmoured person in this way, I will ruin his hand, and also dislocate his wrist. And through pain I will make him kneel under my feet. If I wanted to strike him, I could well do that.
