Dusack
A dusack (also ''dusägge'' and variants,〔in Early Modern High German variously spelled ''dusack, dusäck, dussack, dysack, tesak, tuseckn, thuseckn, disackn, dusägge, dusegge, dusegg''〕 from Czech ''tesák'' "cleaver; hunting sword") is a single-edged sword of the cutlass or sabre type, in use as a side arm in Germany and the Habsburg Monarchy during the 16th to 17th centuries,〔Charles John Ffoulkes, ''The Armourer and His Craft from the XIth to the XVIth Century'', Courier Corporation, 1912, ( p. 159 ).〕 as well as a practice weapon based on this weapon used in early modern German fencing.〔
==Military sidearm==
The Czech term entered German usage in the Hussite Wars, after the sidearm used by the Hussites. In the late 16th century, ''Dusägge'' could refer to a type of weapon combining a sabre blade with the hilt of a sidesword (the German ''Degen''), also known as ''Säbel auf Teutsch gefasst'' ("sabre fitted in the German manner"). The ''Dusägge'' in this sense was used as a military sidearm; e.g. in 1579, Styria records delivery of some 700 ''Dusäggen'' by local bladesmiths, besides payment of 40 ''Dusäggen'' delivered from Passau, as part of the preparation for the war against the Turks under Archduke Charles II.〔("Säbel, 'Dusägge', Deutsch Ende 16. Jahrhundert" ), Waffensammlung Beck, Inv-Nr.:Be 10.〕
The German sabre together with the name ''tessak'' was adopted in Norway. A closely related weapon is the ''schnepf'' or Swiss sabre used in Early Modern Switzerland.〔Claude Blair, "The Early Basket Hilt in Britain" in: ''Scottish Weapons and Fortifications'' (ed. David H. Caldwell, 1981)
