Quilon sword

It was considered that the quillon was designed in the Middle Ages. Some pointed to Crusade Period, others even mentioned 16th century.
The quillon was actually invented to serve two major purposes:
Protection
The hand is perfectly protected from any kind of attack combinations and especially from being cut.
Trap
The additional function of the quillon was to trap the opponent’s blade. If the trap was fast enough, then with a quick lateral movement the opponent’s blade could be cracked or at least was snatched out of his hands.
