Sword consisted of the broad, sharp from two sides band, i.e., blade, and of kryzha - the handle, whose parts were named: apple, cheren and flint. Each flat side of blade was called "golomen'", or "golomya", and point - by "blades". On golomenyakh made one wide or several narrow grooves. Blades were made from steel or iron. Sword was packed into the scabbards, upholstered with the skin or velvet. Scabbards were done from iron and were decorated with gold or silver incisions. Sword hung up to the belt with the aid of two rings, located on the mouth of scabbards.
The knives, which were being used by Old-Russian soldiers, were several specific. The short knives with two blades, hooked by hook on the belt, were called "waist". Knives, somewhat longer and wider, than waist, with one convex toward the end blade, were called "podsaydashnymi". These knives hung up to the belt from the left side. Knives with the curved blade, which was called "shlyakom", that were being rushed after the top of a boot of right boot, so were named - "zasapozhnye".
