idea of relieving the minds of the In

Prof. Beckwith explains the "sword
breaker was found on every sword
used in Europe during the middle
ages, and has survived only in the
Philippines in the campilan. In battle
the soldier seeks to catch the point of
the blade of his eaemy's weapon in
this staple on the handle of his cam
