hello everyone! i would like to share my current, unfinished progress on uncovering the history of the Shashka and its technique!
the Shashka is a curved sword whose history before the 19th century is extremely obscure, if not lost. as of now, we do not have any surviving manuals in regards to its use, technique, or history prior to that century, but we know it existed beforehand. it is traditionally associated with the Cossack peoples, and remains a staple of surviving Cossack tradition and culture.
interested? read below the cut!
