Rhivi horse-gutters

Rhivi horse-gutters were a traditional weapon used between feuding Rhivi clans. Their blades were double-edged and they spread like a leaf in the top third of their length.
They were meant for quick and deadly disembowling strikes from high-grass against warriors on horseback. Once the mount was down and dying, the blade was turned on its toppled rider. Against armoured opponents, they could handily sever a tendon or hamstring, but their short and stubby bar knuckle-guards were not designed for parrying or blocking blows. If an attack was not decided quickly, the wielder could be hard pressed by an opponent with a more standard weapon.The God is Not Willing, Chapter 18, US HC p.330
