--A face stab against the shears

Item: conduct yourself thus in this device. Stand with your left foot forward and hold your dagger, the thumb by your rondel, the point against the man. Immediately go out and step with your right leg towards him and stab at him from above with strength at his face [1].

If he then thus stabs at you and you, with your left leg forward, stand against him so step with your right outwardly behind his right. Immediately go from below well up with the shears and take his stab away [2].

If he has thus taken away your stab, grip with your left hand in front on his right and wind his hand so that the point is turned [twisted] over him [3].

So if you both have thus set on one another, so let your dagger fall and grip with your right hand at his right leg and with your left under his left armpit with crossed arms so you may throw him from the shears [4].
